I'll admit this was my mistake and I should have caught it while reviewing
the emails. At least in the past my mail client has generated the correct
From: headers, but I made a mistake somewhere in the process today. Evidently
passing in the --from= parameter to git-format-patch has been missing from
my scripts forever.
That said: git should *not* default to generating fake From: headers in
generated emails! Having the git default being completely unreasonable in
this case makes absolutely no sense to me, especially when git already
knows what my bloody email address is! It's wrong, it's clear that it's
wrong, so why is the default that way?
Damned rope shooting my foot off. Please excuse me while I go find a medic
to stop the bleeding...
