Please don't answer "y" when git send email shows the following prompt:

What version of git? Commit 51bbccf is in v1.7.12.1 and higher, and says:

send-email: validate & reconfirm interactive responses
People answer 'y' to "Who should the emails appear to be from?" and 'n' to "Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email?" for some unknown reason. While it is possible that your local username really is "y" and you are sending the mail to your local colleagues, it is possible, and some might even say it is likely, that it is a user error.
Awesome! Already implemented! In the case that sparked this particular email, the culprit was using 1.7.3.4; earlier this month, a separate culprit to the same libvirt mailing list was using 1.7.11.7. I was right about it needing to take a few months to percolate to the actual users. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
