+--[no-]force-in-body-from::
+ With the e-mail sender specified via the `--from` option, by
+ default, an in-body "From:" to identify the real author of
+ the commit is added at the top of the commit log message if

--add-header=<header>::
Add an arbitrary header to the email headers. This is in addition
to any configured headers, and may be used multiple times.
