Subject: send-pull-request: Use current date in mail headers
X-Git-Tag: 2011-1~3363
X-Git-Url: https://code.ossystems.io/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=703148fde646ed8c207880a47be09b683b6f6303;p=openembedded-core.git

send-pull-request: Use current date in mail headers

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.
