- <h2>Description</h2>
-
- <p>This add-on brings a review interface to git-by-email workflows
- (git-send-email(1) style). When the selected messages (or thread)
- look like a patch -- a [PATCH] subject tag or a unified diff in the
- body -- the Review button in the main toolbar becomes active. It
- opens a dedicated review tab that shows the whole series: cover
- letter, per- patch commit messages, and every file and hunk rendered
- as a colored diff. Within replaced lines, the span that actually
- changed gets a stronger highlight, computed from the common prefix
- and suffix of each deleted/added line pair.</p>
- <p>Clicking a diff line attaches an inline comment to it; comments
- are saved as drafts (keyed by Message-ID) and survive restarting
- Thunderbird. Send review turns the comments of each commented patch
- into one plain-text reply-to-all, quoting the relevant hunks kernel-
- style with the comments interleaved unquoted below the lines they
- target, and sends the replies immediately; the draft comments are
- then cleared and the review tab closes. The attached drop-down
- offers Preview in compose instead, which leaves the reply drafts
- open in compose windows. A reply that fails to send also stays open,
- so nothing is lost. Apply series runs git am --3way on the raw patch
- messages in the configured repository. On conflict git am --abort is
- run and its output reported, leaving the repository untouched. Its
- drop-down offers Modify and apply -- apply, then open the touched
- files in your editor -- and Download patchset -- save the raw series
- as one mbox file, ready for git am.</p>
