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...
