Hi,
As of the recently released GIT 1.3.0, sending patches via an IMAP folder with GIT just got easier.
If everything is set up right, you should be able to run the following command:
git-format-patch --attach --stdout --keep origin | git-imap-send
This requires some configuration in ~/.git/config:
[core] name = "Mike McCormack" email = "mike@codeweavers.com"
[imap] Folder = "INBOX.Drafts" Tunnel = "ssh -q usr@svr /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"
[format] headers = "To: wine-patches wine-patches@winehq.org\n"
Using Mozilla, you can just click on the "Edit Draft:" in the message, check/edit the message and then click send.
Alexandre has said that he doesn't mind if the subject line contains the ChangeLog entry.
No more missing patches, missing ChangeLog entries, or patches generated from the wrong directory.
I think James Hawkins has written a program similar to git-imap-send that works with GMail...
