A long overdue documentation update to match an age-old code
update.
* aw/doc-smtp-ssl-cert-path:
correct smtp-ssl-cert-path description
|
|
"git send-email" normally identifies itself via X-Mailer: header
in the message it sends out. A new command line flag allows the
user to squelch the header.
* lh/send-email-hide-x-mailer:
test/send-email: --[no-]xmailer tests
send-email: add --[no-]xmailer option
|
|
The git-send-email documentation was never updated to reflect
the change made in 01645b74 to use the SSL library's default
CA trust store rather than /etc/ssl/certs as a hardcoded
default CApath. This corrects that, and also tweaks the rest
of the text a bit to explain more accurately what is required
for a valid CApath / CAfile.

The thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/257392
details problems when applying patches with "git am" in a repository with
CRLF line endings. In the example in the thread, the repository originated
from "git-svn" so it is not possible to use core.eol and friends on it.
Right now, the best option is to use "git am --keep-cr". However, when
a patch create new files, the patch application process will reject the
new file because it finds a "/dev/null\r" string instead of "/dev/null".
The problem is that SMTP transport is CRLF-unsafe. Sending a patch by
email is the same as passing it through "dos2unix | unix2dos". The newly
introduced CRLFs are normally transparent because git-am strips them. The
keepcr=true setting preserves them, but it is mostly working by chance
and it would be very problematic to have a "git am" workflow in a
repository with mixed LF and CRLF line endings.
The MIME solution to this is the quoted-printable transfer enconding.
This is not something that we want to enable by default, since it makes
received emails horrible to look at. However, it is a very good match
for projects that store CRLF line endings in the repository.
The only disadvantage of quoted-printable is that quoted-printable
patches fail to apply if the maintainer uses "git am --keep-cr". This
is because the decoded patch will have two carriage returns at the end
of the line. Therefore, add support for base64 transfer encoding too,
which makes received emails downright impossible to look at outside
a MUA, but really just works.
The patch covers all bases, including users that still live in the late
80s, by also providing a 7bit content transfer encoding that refuses
to send emails with non-ASCII character in them. And finally, "8bit"
will add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header but otherwise do nothing.

When initiating an SSL connection without explicitly specifying the
SSL certificate verification mode, Net::SMTP::SSL defaults to no
verification, but recent versions of the module gives a warning
against this use of the default.
Enable certificate verification by default, using /etc/ssl/certs as
the default path for certificates of certificate authorities. This
path can be overriden by the --smtp-ssl-cert-path command line
option and the sendemail.smtpSSLCertPath configuration variable.
Passing an empty string as the path for CA certificates path disables
the SSL certificate verification explicitly, which does not trigger
the warning from recent versions of Net::SMTP::SSL.

In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT,
to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small
caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days.
Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer
to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the
command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding
guideline.

The encoding used by patches can be changed by the "8bit-encoding"
option, but this option does not have effect on introduction email

The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.
Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.
While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

When an initial --in-reply-to is supplied, make it apply only to the
first message; --[no-]chain-reply-to setting are honored by second and
subsequent messages; this is also how the git-format-patch option with
the same name behaves.
Moreover, when $initial_reply_to is asked to the user interactively it
is asked as the "Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the _first_
email", this makes the user think that the second and subsequent
patches are not using it but are considered as replies to the first
message or chained according to the --[no-]chain-reply setting.
Look at the v2 series in the illustration to see what the new behavior
ensures:
(before the patch) | (after the patch)
[PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did... | [PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did...
[PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests | [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests
[PATCH 2/2] Implementation | [PATCH 2/2] Implementation
[PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll | [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll
[PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up | [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up
[PATCH v2 2/3] New tests | [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests
[PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation | [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation
This is the typical behaviour we want when we send a series with cover
letter in reply to some discussion, the new patch series should appear
as a separate subtree in the discussion.
Also update the documentation on --in-reply-to to describe the new
behavior.

The way the code stored --smtp-domain was unlike its handling of other
similar options. Bring it in line with the others by:
- Renaming $mail_domain to $smtp_domain to match the command line
option. Also move its declaration from near the top of the file to
near other option variables.
- Removing $mail_domain_default. The variable was used once and only
served to move the default away from where it gets used.
- Adding a sendemail.smtpdomain config option. smtp-domain was the
only SMTP configuration option that couldn't be set in the user's
.gitconfig.

In http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/109790 I
threatened to announce a change to the default threading style used by
send-email to no-chain-reply-to (i.e. the second and subsequent messages
will all be replies to the first one), unless nobody objected, in 1.6.3.
Nobody objected, as far as I can dig the list archive. But when nothing
happened in 1.6.3 nor 1.6.4, nobody from the camp who complained loudly
that led to the message did not complain either.
So I am guessing that after all nobody cares about this. But 1.7.0 is a
good time to change this, and as I said in the message, I personally think
it is a good change, so here it is.

The current documentation states that servers typically listen on port
465 and calls this "ssmtp". While it's true that many mail servers use
port 465 for SSL smtp, this is non-standard, and hails from the days
before smtp and submission TLS support, that arrived in RFC2487 and
RFC3207. Port 465 is actually assigned by IANA for unrelated purposes,
and is mostly still used by mail servers today only to support Outlook
Express.
In any case, this patch helps the documentation better reflect both
standards and reality, while still helpfully mentioning ports numbers
that a user may wish to specify.

For another patch series I'm working on I needed some tests
for the cc-cmd feature of git-send-email.
This patch adds 3 tests for the feature and for the possibility
to specify --suppress-cc multiple times, and fixes two bugs.
The first bug is that the --suppress-cc option for `cccmd' was
misspelled as `ccmd' in the code. The second bug, which is
actually found only with my other series, is that the argument
to the cccmd is never quoted, so the cccmd would fail with
patch file names containing a space.
A third bug I fix (in the docs) is that the bodycc argument was
actually spelled ccbody in the documentation and bash completion.

The sender address, as specified with the '--from' command line option,
couldn't be set in the config file. So add a new config option,
'sendemail.from', which sets it. One can use 'sendemail.<identity>.from'
as well of course, which is likely the more useful case.
The sender address would default to GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT, which is usually the
right thing, but this doesn't allow switching based on the identity
selected. It's possible to switch the SMTP server and envelope sender by
using the '--identity' option, in which case one probably wants to use a
different from address as well, but this had to be manually specified.
The documentation for 'from' is also corrected somewhat. If '--from' is
specified (or the new sendemail.from option is used) then the user isn't
prompted. The default with no '--from' option (or sendemail.from option)
is GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT first then GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, not just
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT.
