Please don't answer "y" when git send email shows the following prompt:
"Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email?"
you should respond with a message ID there. Unfortunately we have a
growing thread that contains submissions with this mistake.
Anyone willing to patch upstream 'git send-email' to reject a simple 'y'
rather than blindly sending a bad messageID for the in-reply-to field,
to help future users avoid this mistake? Obviously, it won't help until
the patch eventually percolates into distros, so it would be a few more
months before we see the benefits, but down the road it will prevent
confusing threads.
