With Git it is actually very easy. After a one-time configuration it can be as exceedingly simple as: git send-email --to [email protected] master..branch-with-my-fixes (try it with a --dry-run first) If the adressee is actually a commiter (and not the list) then the commiter name as address then git finds the email address automatically. Useful inside a team, for example. Particularly when not co-located. When that's said, I wouldn't mind a move to github. I agree with Peter's objections about github to some extent, but I believe we aren't actually being affected by that because after all Git is a distributed version control system and we are always in full control of the repository - because a github one would be just another copy among very many. -Tor _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
