+NAME
+----
+git-send-email - Send a collection of patches as emails
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-send-email' [options] <file|directory> [... file|directory]
+
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.
+
+The header of the email is configurable by command line options.  If not
+specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine
+enabled interface to provide the necessary information.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+The options available are:
+
+--to::
+	Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated.
+	Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the
+	project involved.
+
+--from::
+	Specify the sender of the emails.  This will default to
+	the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l".
+	The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry.
+
+--compose::
+	Use \$EDITOR to edit an introductory message for the
+	patch series.
+
+--subject::
+   	Specify the initial subject of the email thread.
+	Only necessary if --compose is also set.  If --compose
+	is not set, this will be prompted for.
+
+--in-reply-to::
+	Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header.
+	Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email 
+	instead of this if --chain-reply-to is set (the default)
+	Only necessary if --compose is also set.  If --compose
+	is not set, this will be prompted for.
+
+--chain-reply-to, --no-chain-reply-to::
+	If this is set, each email will be sent as a reply to the previous
+	email sent.  If disabled with "--no-chain-reply-to", all emails after
+	the first will be sent as replies to the first email sent.  When using
+	this, it is recommended that the first file given be an overview of the
+	entire patch series.
+	Default is --chain-reply-to
+
+--smtp-server::
+	If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use.  Defaults to
+	localhost.
