"stg mail --branch" option broken?

[chucklever]

I could be doing something wrong, but I noticed this today (stgit 1.5):

[cel@klimt linux]$ stg mail -b for-5.18 -vRFC --git --to=linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org remove-config-nfsd-v3
stg mail: Unknown patch name: remove-config-nfsd-v3

I took a quick look. The -b/--branch option to stg mail seems to be totally ignored. And it seems to have been ignored since --branch was introduced to stg mail in ~2005.

So legit bug. Been there forever.

The stg email format and stg email send commands in StGit 2.0 have working --branch options.
