So I've been looking to use this as it sounds most helpful, thanks for sharing
this! :)

If I understand it correctly, it comes down to adding these lines to the
.git/config of the ansible repo:
'''
[alias]
    fbr = format-patch --subject-prefix='FBR' 
[email protected]
[sendemail]
        to = [email protected]
'''

I have one question though, what is the --to used for in the format-patch if git
send-email doesn't support reading from it? (which is the case from what I saw
yesterday)

Thanks again,
Pierre
