[PATCH V2] git-send-email: Add ability to cc: any "bylines" in the commit message

From: Joe Perches
Date: Wed Aug 31 2016 - 14:51:32 EST


Many commits have various forms of bylines similar to
"Acked-by: Name <address>" and "Reported-by: Name <address>"

Add the ability to cc: bylines (e.g. Acked-by:) when using git send-email.

This can be suppressed with --suppress-cc=bylines.
