AFAIK, git-send-email also avoids redundantly adding '<>' and only adds them if necessary. > On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 5:26 PM, Junio C Hamano <gits...@pobox.com> wrote: <snip> > > Issue #01 of June reports it in 'master': > > https://public-inbox.org/git/<xmqqshjk5ezb....@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com> > > * However with the < > unstripped, the awesomeness is limited: > Some tools (including my mail reader as well as public inbox itself[1]) > do not recognize the link when there are < > in there. Yeah, that's actually bad form on Junio's part. public-inbox can only support it up to an extent... I seem to recall seeing some standard or style recommendation that URLs (of any type) be surrounded by angle brackets in text: <https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqshjk5ezb....@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/> So public-inbox (and other parsers) should stop looking for URLs outside of the '<>' But I think the newer style manuals state having spaces around the URL is enough. > While the second point is not the end of the world, it's still > slightly annoying, > which is why I thought I'll point it out here. > > [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqvaodx6g4....@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/
