OTOH, that doesn't help in this case, IIUC. When the poster originally
formats and sends the patch, their gitconfig says
user.email=foo...@example.com, and the author meta-datum on the patch
most likely *also* says foo...@example.com. (I.e., they are formatting a
patch they have authored themselves.) Therefore
git-format-patch/git-send-email have no reason to include an explicit
"From:" line at the top of the commit message body. I agree that
"From:", if present, mitigates the issue, but in most cases, I reckon,
it's not present.
Is there a way to configure git to force git-format-patch to
unconditionally include the inline "From:" header? I tried:
git config format.forceInBodyFrom true
which is described in the man page as "may help if the mailing list
software mangles the sender’s identity", but it seems to have an effect
only if "--from" is also specified.
Thanks,
Michael
