Patches can be specified as files, directories (which will send all | |

last case, any format accepted by <a href="git-format-patch.html">git-format-patch(1)</a> can | |
be passed to git send-email.</p></div> | |
<div class="paragraph"><p>The header of the email is configurable via 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.</p></div> | |
<div class="paragraph"><p>There are two formats accepted for patch files:</p></div> | |

Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be | |

sending many messages. With this option, send-email will disconnect after | |
sending $<num> messages and wait for a few seconds (see --relogin-delay) | |
