} Better feedback from me later.
 

Now less in a hurry.


What `git send-email` does, is sending email.
The emails are created from previous created patches.
In those patches are commit messages.

Good text for an email, less good text for a commit message

Great work from  MingJian Hong. He came with a question like
 How to express  /domain.tld.*/
after finding out that
  /domain.tld$/
was implemented. Then responsed with a patch that does
  /domain.tld.*/

P.S.
Some regular expression characters
  /   search string delimiter
  .   any character
  *   zero or more character as the previous character
  $   end
