Re: [PATCH 4/4] git-imap-send: Add method to convert from LF to CRLF

Hitoshi Mitake [off-list ref] writes:

Some strict IMAP servers (e.g. Cyrus) don't
allow "bare newlines ('\n')" in messages.
So I added new boolean option "lf-to-crlf" to imap section.
If this option enabled, git-imap-send converts LF to CRLF("\r\n").

If you want to use it, add line:
	lf-to-crlf
to [imap] section of your .gitconfig .

This patch also adds description to Documentation/git-imap-send.txt .

+imap.lf-to-crlf::
+	If you use strict IMAP server (e.g. Cyrus),
+	"bare newlines ('\n')" in messages are not allowed.
+	If this option enabled, git-imap-send converts LF to CRLF("\r\n").
+

If you take a look at Documentation/config.txt at the names of other
config variables, you would see that they have

  core.fileMode::
  core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks::
  core.quotepath::
  core.safecrlf::

names, i.e. either camelCase or allsmallcase, and not

  imap.lf-to-crlf::

with '-' to separate parts.  Values can and do use this syntax, like
e.g. `blank-at-eol` for core.whitespace.

The only outlier is add.ignore-errors (not add.ignoreerrors or
add.ignoreErrors).


The same is true for the other config variable you propsed in 3/4
patch.
