The perlbug tool is increasingly used by perl community to send patches,

Ive started hacking it to use git send-email when used from inside the git repo
(theyve switched to git :-), and Id like to just use the file it writes.

I tried just passing file in as 1st arg, tool was unhappy:

[jimc@groucho perl]$ git send-email --dry-run  perlbug.rep 0001-*
fatal: perlbug.rep: 61: patch contains a line longer than 998 characters
warning: no patches were sent

Nevermind.

perlbug was doing some odd stuff - it wasnt writing headers to saved file,
so when I went to send it, git-send-email complained.

Ive now hacked perlbug to call git-send-email $rptfile @patchfiles,
without --compose, and things work.

sorry for the noise.
