For me, this is from batcave01 (so ancient rhel7 version) and
all I did was commit something, and do:
git send-email --compose --suppress-cc=all
--to=infrastructure(a)lists.fedoraproject.org --from kevin(a)scrye.com
--no-cc --no-bcc HEAD^
Ahh, this is from the `--compose` option. That's probably
better to use only when you're sending a patch series rather
than a single patch. (It's more or less the equivalent of
using the `--cover-letter` option with `git format-patch`.
For a single patch, the `--annotate` option is probably
better suited. That opens an editor with the patch where
you can enter some description of the patch (ideally between
the `---` and the diffstat, which ensures that text isn't
included it the patch is applied with `git am`). That way
you end up with a single message.
I looked at the docs for `git send-email` in EL7 and
`--annotate` is there, so it should work in that version.
