That'd be cleaner to use git config --path sendemail.aliasesfile to let Git do the right expansion, in a way consistant with other places of Git.This means to expand it at 'git config' time?
Yes, but not the "git config" ran to set the value. The one ran internally by "git send-email" through Git::config(). You may add --get to my command line above.
Wouldn't it be nicer to have it expanded when you run 'git send-email'? Then you could move your ~/.gitconfig (that's where I have my aliasesfile configured) between different accounts and it could still work.
That works with my proposal. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
