The cause of the dual To: was that I had configured 'git send-email' to
autosend to bug-coreutils, then manually added another --to option to
keep 5996@ in the loop.  Sending to bug-coreutils is good for fresh
patch series, but not so good when trying to send a patch in threaded
reply to an existing bug report, so I have since changed my git
configuration to no longer have an automatic sendemail.to entry.

Unfortunately, since I sent that mail with 'git send-email' and did not
bcc myself, and am not subscribed to bug-gnu-emacs, I didn't see the
actual headers that git ended up using; your email was the first I saw
of what I posted.  I know I changed the subject line as a result of
sending from git, but did I even get the bug number in the subject line,
or is that something that I will have to remember to do manually?
