This patch adds a --suppress-all option to avoid sending emails
to everybody but the ones listed by --to option.
To my minds eye, --suppress-all is equivalent to --dry-run. Could you
rename it to "--cc-nobody" or some such?

On a side-note, I've never really understood why git-send-email *by 
default*
sends to a bazillion people. Does anybody ever use it without suppressing
most of the CC targets?
Yes.  I never suppress the cc's.  The cc-everyone thing is standard on
the kernel mailing lists.

The one exception is if I'm just sending the series to myself as a test.
Wouldn't --no-cc be a nicer option name?
