The indented lines in these example config-file listings are indented
differently by AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor.
Fix this by marking the example config-files as code listings by
wrapping them in "----". Because this gives us some extra indentation,
we can remove the one that we have been carrying explicitly. That is,
drop the first tab of indentation on each line.
With AsciiDoc, this results in identical rendering before and after this
commit. Asciidoctor now renders this the same as AsciiDoc does.
git-config.txt pretty consistently uses twelve dashes rather than the
minimum four to spell "----". Let's stick to the file-local convention
there.

A doc update.
* cm/send-email-document-req-modules:
send-email: update documentation of required Perl modules
|
|
Since "git send-email" learned to take 'auto' as the value for the
transfer-encoding, it by mistake stopped honoring the values given
to the configuration variables sendemail.transferencoding and/or
sendemail.<ident>.transferencoding. This has been corrected to
(finally) redoing the order of setting the default, reading the
configuration and command line options.

Improve and complete the list of required email related Perl modules,
clarifying which are core Perl modules and remove Net::SMTP::SSL.
git-send-email uses the TLS support in the Net::SMTP core module from
recent versions of Perl. Documenting the minimum version is complex
because of separate numbering for Perl (5.21.5~169), Net:SMTP (2.34)
and libnet (3.01). Version numbers from commit:
bfbfc9a953 ("send-email: Net::SMTP::starttls was introduced in v2.34",
2017-05-31).
Users of older Perl versions without Net::SMTP::SSL installed will get a
clear error message.

Fix a regression in my recent 3494dfd3ee ("send-email: do defaults ->
config -> getopt in that order", 2019-05-09). I missed that the
$identity variable needs to be extracted from the command-line before
we do the config reading, as it determines which config variable we
should read first. See [1] for the report.
The sendemail.identity feature was added back in
34cc60ce2b ("send-email: Add support for SSL and SMTP-AUTH",
2007-09-03), there were no tests to assert that it worked properly.
So let's fix both the regression, and add some tests to assert that
this is being parsed properly. While I'm at it I'm adding a
--no-identity option to go with --[to|cc|bcc] variable, since the
semantics are similar. It's like to/cc/bcc except that unlike those we
don't support multiple identities, but we could now easily add it
support for it if anyone cares.
In just fixing the --identity command-line parsing bug I discovered
that a narrow fix to that wouldn't do. In read_config() we had a state
machine that would only set config values if they weren't set already,
and thus by proxy we wouldn't e.g. set "to" based on sendemail.to if
we'd seen sendemail.gmail.to before, with --identity=gmail.
I'd modified some of the relevant code in 3494dfd3ee, but just
reverting to that wouldn't do, since it would bring back the
regression fixed in that commit.
Refactor read_config() do what we actually mean here. We don't want to
set a given sendemail.VAR if a sendemail.$identity.VAR previously set
it. The old code was conflating this desire with the hardcoded
defaults for these variables, and as discussed in 3494dfd3ee that was
never going to work. Instead pass along the state of whether an
identity config set something before, as distinguished from the state
of the default just being false, or the default being a non-bool or
true (e.g. --transferencoding).
I'm still not happy with the test coverage here, e.g. there's nothing
testing sendemail.smtpEncryption, but I only have so much time to fix
this code.

"git send-email" learned to disable SMTP authentication via the
"--smtp-auth=none" option, even when the smtp username is given
(which turns the authentication on by default).
* jw/send-email-no-auth:
send-email: explicitly disable authentication
|
|
It can be necessary to disable SMTP authentication by a mechanism other
than sendemail.smtpuser being undefined. For example, if the user has
sendemail.smtpuser set globally but wants to disable authentication
locally in one repository.
--smtp-auth and sendemail.smtpauth now understand the value 'none' which
means to disable authentication completely, even if an authentication
user is specified.
The value 'none' is lower case to avoid conflicts with any RFC 4422
authentication mechanisms.
The user may also specify the command line argument --no-smtp-auth as a
shorthand for --smtp-auth=none

When rerolling a patch series, including various Reviewed-by etc. that

automatically cc those people.
So pick up any *-by lines, with a new suppression category 'misc-by',
but special-case Signed-off-by, since that already has its own
suppression category. It seems natural to make 'misc-by' implied by
'body'.

git send-email, when invoked without a --transfer-encoding option, sends
8bit data without a MIME version or a transfer encoding. This has
several downsides.
First, unless the transfer encoding is specified, it defaults to 7bit,
meaning that non-ASCII data isn't allowed. Second, if lines longer than
998 bytes are used, we will send an message that is invalid according to
RFC 5322. The --validate option, which is the default, catches this
issue, but it isn't clear to many people how to resolve this.
To solve these issues, default the transfer encoding to "auto", so that
we explicitly specify 8bit encoding when lines don't exceed 998 bytes
and quoted-printable otherwise. This means that we now always emit
Content-Transfer-Encoding and MIME-Version headers, so remove the
conditionals from this portion of the code.
It is unlikely that the unconditional inclusion of these two headers
will affect the deliverability of messages in anything but a positive
way, since MIME is already widespread and well understood by most email
programs.

The git send-email documentation specifies RFC 2821 (the SMTP RFC) as
providing line length limits, but the specification that restricts line
length to 998 octets is RFC 2822 (the email message format RFC). Since
RFC 2822 has been obsoleted by RFC 5322, update the text to refer to RFC
5322 instead of RFC 2821.

With --validate (which is the default), we warn about lines exceeding
998 characters due to the limits specified in RFC 5322. However, if
we're using a suitable transfer encoding (quoted-printable or base64),
we're guaranteed not to have lines exceeding 76 characters, so there's
no need to fail in this case. The auto transfer encoding handles this
specific case, so accept it as well.

For most patches, using a transfer encoding of 8bit provides good
compatibility with most servers and makes it as easy as possible to view
patches. However, there are some patches for which 8bit is not a valid
encoding: RFC 5322 specifies that a message must not have lines
exceeding 998 octets.
Add a transfer encoding value, auto, which indicates that a patch should
use 8bit where allowed and quoted-printable otherwise. Choose
quoted-printable instead of base64, since base64-encoded plain text is
treated as suspicious by some spam filters.

When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper
case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers
uppercase to keep it close to the final output.
This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.
Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has
suggestions about this.
While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples

"git send-email" learned to overcome some SMTP server limitation
that does not allow many pieces of e-mails to be sent over a single
session.
* xz/send-email-batch-size:
send-email: --batch-size to work around some SMTP server limit
|
|
Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be
sent per session (connection) and this will lead to a faliure when
sending many messages.
Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages
(configurable via the --batch-size=<num> option), wait for a few
seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay=<seconds> option) and
reconnect, to work around such a limit.
Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default.
Note:
We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we
should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server;
Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic
servers.

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.
