Re: [PATCHv3] git-send-email: add ~/.authinfo parsing

Is it bad to use Net::Netrc instead?  This looks like exactly the
use case that module was written for, no?

I don't think that's the case.  For one, Net::Netrc does not seem to
process port number.

There is a Text::Authinfo module but it just uses Text::CSV.

I can change the code to use Net::Netrc, but I dunno if that's really
the best option, since I feel people would expect parsing to be
somehow compatible with
<http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/NNTP.html>
rather than the original .netrc file format.

Thanks for pushing back (I wish more contributors did so when I
suggest nonsense ;-)); you are right that both canned modules are
lacking.

Will queue.  Thanks.
