Hi Konstantin,

I've had another look at potentially adopting b4 prep/send as a
replacement for the bits of my scripting that it covers.  I did
find a couple of gaps that are causing friction though:

 - Some command line options for extracting the metadata for the
   series would be helpful - the main one I'm looking for is
   series.revision, some of my scripts operate on all the
   branches I've got that have unsent changes which I could do by
   comparing the current version with the last sent version.  An
   equivalent of git config get/set for the series metadata would
   cover all this and more.

 - Being able to get the commit ID of the metadata commit would
   be useful so I can do testing on the actual commits in the
   branch (when using the commit cover strategy).  Alternatively,
   I'd use this to generate a list of commits in the branch so
   that list would also do the job, but getting the ID for the
   metadata commit seems more general.

 - It would be nice if there was an option to sign the tags used
   when tagging sent branches, especially when signing the actual
   sent patches.

Thanks for working on b4, it's really useful.

Thanks,
Mark
