#23In the e-mail reply that you get when following the guide you get something to copy paste that looks like this: git send-email -v2 ... I tried to find documentation regarding the -v[0-9]+ parameter but couldn't find it at all. What am I missing in the docs? Seems a lot of guides recommend people to use this feature, however there is not a word regarding it in the git docs. It seems that it takes a positive integer as…

#24Can only speak for myself, but I didn't understand enough context to get much out of the site. I'm used git for small, personal collaborations, so I don't know why it sends email or when you would want it to do that. I don't know what a "patch" means here and why you use email with them. If I'm not your target audience, then that's fine, but it might be helpful to have some background on this. Otherwise, the site and…
I think the author of this is the same one who has pushed back against ForgeFed and is now tackling some of the criticisms shared in response to his "git is already decentralized" piece (namely, git over email being too hard or not well known enough).

It seems to have a cost though, how do I link to a specific page? Anti-snark edit: what's the URL to a specific step?

#28Re: Show HN: Learn to use email with Git
#29Something this reminded me of: in the tutorial it is mentioned to check the project README for possible emails to send patches to, but darcs had a nice config option (pref) [1] to suggest a repository's default TO email address when `darcs send` sending an email patch. It's a small papercut in the `git send-email` workflow, but providing an automated way for a git repo to suggest its patch email list would simplify t…
