+NAME

+git-send-email-script - Send a collection of patches as emails
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-send-email-script' [options] <file|directory> [... file|directory]
+
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.
+
+The header of the email is configurable by command line options.  If not
+specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine
+enabled interface to provide the necessary information.
+
+The options available are:
+
+  --to
+	Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated.
+	Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the
+	project involved.
+
+   --from
+	Specify the sender of the emails.  This will default to
+	the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l".
+	The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry.
+
+   --subject
+   	Specify the initial subject of the email thread.
+
+   --in-reply-to
+	Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header.
+	Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email 
+	instead of this.
+	When overriding on the command line, it may be necessary
+	to set this to a space.  For example
+		--in-reply-to=" "
