Package: git-email
Version: 1:2.14.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Sometimes i use "git send-email --dry-run" to make sure i know what
it's going to do.
sometimes, i accidentally combine it with --compose.
in that situation, i'm presented with a message for composition, but
when i save it and complete, my message composition is lost. :(
it's PEBKAC for sure, but "git send-email" could be nicer about it, in
(at least) one of two ways:
* when --dry-run and --send-email are used together, the composition
template could clearly say that this is a dry-run and will not be
sent.
* it could save the composed message in a well-known place within
.git/ so that it can be recovered.
I recognize that this is most likely an upstream wishlist bug -- feel
free to forward it to the appropriate location. I'm all out of time
for this today, since i have to go re-write my cover letter again now
:(
