From 803cfe2635cff6ea2147dc1065b5bd0bb98c6394 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eddie Kovsky Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 23:23:01 -0700 Subject: Documentation: Add note on sending files directly with Mutt Like 'git send-email', Mutt can also be used to send patches generated with 'git format-patch'. This works regardless of the editor the contributor has set up to use with Mutt.
