If you are changing StGit to call git-send-email anyway, why not
arrange stgit to call git-send-email to send the message out
instead, instead of sending messages on its own?

Yeah, I thought about that as I was poking around further in StGit
to figure out how it would be calling git-send-email. ;)

I imagine the internal implementation of stg mail would work
something like:

    prepare messages to send out
    call git-send-email and have it send them

What am I missing?

My lack of familiarity with StGit internals. ;)

Your suggestion is much better. I'll take a closer look at StGit and
see how feasible it is.

Unless Catalin has strong objections?

I think that sounds like a splendid idea. It would be interesting to
see just how thin a wrapper around git send-email (and format-patch)
stg mail could become, without sacrificing features anyone actually
uses. The main complication could be stg mail's templates.

Catalin, how wedded are you to those? ;-)
