Usually people using git send-email has git config sendmail.to
configured to the usual mailing list or person so we harness that
here.

Commit 94629f2521 removes the FROM header when
sending via sendmail to avoid sending mail as the original change committer (as
opposed to the local user). This resulted in mail going out without any FROM
header, which some mailing lists correct by adding the *bounce address as the
FROM.
Correct this by reading FROM from the environment, from a new -f argument, or
from the git user.name and user.email config settings, in that order of
preference. Also display the FROM that will be used prior to the send
confirmation.
This has no effect if the -g (send via git) argument is specified, other than
printing the git sendemail.from config setting.

When using sendmail to send patches, patches would appear to be from the
original author as git adds a From: header in the generated patches. This patch
changes this behavior to match that of git-send-email, where the email From:
header is that of the current sender (according to sendmail) and a "From:
Original Author <email>" line is inserted into the body of the message.

Darren Hart and I discovered that when $CC is set (which
our meta-toolchain environment script sets up), the value
leaks into the use of this script. Unsetting $TO as well
just to be thorough.

Some users find it easier to use their git sendmail setup over a local
MTA to deliver mail with the send-pull-request script. If you would
like to do this, please read the git-send-email man page and set
the relevant entries in your git config. In particular, be sure to
set sendemail.from to avoid being asked each time.

Some users experience problems viewing the pull requests as a sequential
mail series due to the script using the git commit date for the patches
and today's date for the cover letter.
Address this by renaming the email Date: header to Old-Date: and adding
a new Date: header with a current timestamp.

send-pull-request facilitates sending pull requests generated by
create-pull-request. The primary role of this script is to harvest email
addresses from the patches and send them out. A working installation of sendmail
(exim, postfix, msmtp, etc.) is required to use this script.
You can explicitly specify To addresses with the -t option. As this can be
tedious, the -a option will scan all the patches for To, CC, and *-by lines and
the collected addresses to the To and CC headers for each patch.
This script uses an identical recipients list for every patch, including the
cover letter. This is by design. Existing tools will auto-generate the CC header
for individual patches, but since they don't apply it to the other patches, the
recipients can lack the necessary context to provide a meaningful review. This
is especially true of the cover letter.
The pull directory generated by the create-pull-request script is specified
using the -p option.
