In b6a8d09f6d (gc docs: include the "gc.*" section from "config" in
"gc", 2019-04-07) the "git gc" documentation was made to include the
config/gc.txt in its "CONFIGURATION" section. We do that in several
other places, but "git gc" was the only one with a blurb above the
include to orient the reader.
We don't want readers to carefully scrutinize "git-config(1)" and
"git-gc(1)" looking for discrepancies, instead we should tell them
that the latter includes a part of the former.
This change formalizes that wording in two new templates to be
included, one for the "git gc" case where the entire section is
included from "git-config(1)", and another for when the inclusion of
"git-config(1)" follows discussion unique to that documentation. In
order to use that re-arrange the order of those being discussed in the
"git-merge(1)" documentation.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-imap-send - Send a collection of patches from stdin to an IMAP folder
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git imap-send' [-v] [-q] [--[no-]curl]
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command uploads a mailbox generated with 'git format-patch'
|
|
into an IMAP drafts folder. This allows patches to be sent as
|
|
other email is when using mail clients that cannot read mailbox
|
|
files directly. The command also works with any general mailbox
|
|
in which emails have the fields "From", "Date", and "Subject" in
|
|
that order.
|
|
|
|
Typical usage is something like:
|
|
|
|
git format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git imap-send
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Be verbose.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Be quiet.
|
|
|
|
--curl::
|
|
Use libcurl to communicate with the IMAP server, unless tunneling
|
|
into it. Ignored if Git was built without the USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND
|
|
option set.
|
|
|
|
--no-curl::
|
|
Talk to the IMAP server using git's own IMAP routines instead of
|
|
using libcurl. Ignored if Git was built with the NO_OPENSSL option
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To use the tool, `imap.folder` and either `imap.tunnel` or `imap.host` must be set
|
|
to appropriate values.
|
|
|
|
include::includes/cmd-config-section-rest.txt[]
|
|
|
|
include::config/imap.txt[]
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
Using tunnel mode:
|
|
|
|
..........................
|
|
[imap]
|
|
folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
|
|
tunnel = "ssh -q -C user@example.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"
|
|
..........................
|
|
|
|
Using direct mode:
|
|
|
|
.........................
|
|
[imap]
|
|
folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
|
|
host = imap://imap.example.com
|
|
user = bob
|
|
pass = p4ssw0rd
|
|
.........................
|
|
|
|
Using direct mode with SSL:
|
|
|
|
.........................
|
|
[imap]
|
|
folder = "INBOX.Drafts"
|
|
host = imaps://imap.example.com
|
|
user = bob
|
|
pass = p4ssw0rd
|
|
port = 123
|
|
; sslVerify = false
|
|
.........................
|
|
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
You may want to use `sslVerify=false`
|
|
while troubleshooting, if you suspect that the reason you are
|
|
having trouble connecting is because the certificate you use at
|
|
the private server `example.com` you are trying to set up (or
|
|
have set up) may not be verified correctly.
|
|
|
|
Using Gmail's IMAP interface:
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
[imap]
|
|
folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
|
|
host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
|
|
user = user@gmail.com
|
|
port = 993
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
You might need to instead use: `folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts"` if you get an error
|
|
that the "Folder doesn't exist".
|
|
|
|
[NOTE]
|
|
If your Gmail account is set to another language than English, the name of the "Drafts"
|
|
folder will be localized.
|
|
|
|
Once the commits are ready to be sent, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
$ git format-patch --cover-letter -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send
|
|
|
|
Just make sure to disable line wrapping in the email client (Gmail's web
|
|
interface will wrap lines no matter what, so you need to use a real
|
|
IMAP client).
|
|
|
|
CAUTION
|
|
-------
|
|
It is still your responsibility to make sure that the email message
|
|
sent by your email program meets the standards of your project.
|
|
Many projects do not like patches to be attached. Some mail
|
|
agents will transform patches (e.g. wrap lines, send them as
|
|
format=flowed) in ways that make them fail. You will get angry
|
|
flames ridiculing you if you don't check this.
