- * "git send-email" won't make deep threads by default
17
+* bg/maint-add-all-doc (2009-12-07) 4 commits.
18
+ - squash! rm documentation--also mention add-u where we mention commit-a

37
- Many people said that by default when sending more than 2 patches the
38
- threading git-send-email makes by default is hard to read, and they
39
- prefer the default be one cover letter and each patch as a direct
