Change the description to be similar to that used for git-send-email(1) to give a better description of what the tool can be used for and sound more user-friendly. Document the configuration variables used by git-imap-send, split the example into tunnel and direct examples. Rephrase other parts of the git-imap-send documentation to use better grammar and to be clearer.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-imap-send - Send a collection of patches from stdin to an IMAP folder
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git imap-send'
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command uploads a mailbox generated with 'git-format-patch'
|
|
into an IMAP drafts folder. This allows patches to be sent as
|
|
other email is when using mail clients that cannot read mailbox
|
|
files directly.
|
|
|
|
Typical usage is something like:
|
|
|
|
git format-patch --signoff --stdout --attach origin | git imap-send
|
|
|
|
