That's simply not acceptable. ... 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... -ben -- "Thought is the essence of where you are now." -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
