source: tags/fc9-eol/locker/sbin/commit-email.pl @ 1958

Last change on this file since 1958 was 719, checked in by price, 17 years ago
upgrade commit-email.pl. This is the Subversion 1.5 upstream version, with my patch to support an option --summary for setting the subject line from the first line of the log message. Also has --stdout for testing without sending mail.
  • Property svn:eol-style set to native

580    # Well... that isn't strictly true. The contents of the files
581    # might not be UTF-8, so the "diff" portion will be hosed.
582    #
583    # If you want a truly "proper" commit message, then you'd use
584    # multipart MIME messages, with each file going into its own part,
585    # and labeled with an appropriate MIME type and charset. Of
586    # course, we haven't defined a charset property yet, but no biggy.
587    #
588    # Going with multipart will surely throw out the notion of "cut
589    # out the patch from the email and apply." But then again: the
590    # commit emailer could see that all portions are in the same
591    # charset and skip the multipart thang.
592    #
593    # etc etc
