I recently upgraded my svn version to 1.4.2 and got messages that
commit-email.pl requires -h or --from now with the version. Those
options work fine if there is no -m on the command line. If there is a
-m, it seems to fail with the same message that -h or --from is
required.
I did a cursory search and didn't find anything, am I missing the
obvious?
Thanks,
