format-patch: teach format.notes config option
git-format-patch.txt: document --no-notes option
In git-format-patch, notes can be appended with the `--notes` option.
However, this must be specified by the user on an
invocation-by-invocation basis. If a user is not careful, it's possible
that they may forget to include it and generate a patch series without
notes.
Teach git-format-patch the `format.notes` config option. Its value is a
notes ref that will be automatically appended. The special value of
"standard" can be used to specify the standard notes. This option is
overridable with the `--no-notes` option in case a user wishes not to
append notes.

We weren't flushing the context each time we processed a hunk in the
patch-id generation code in diff.c, but we were doing that when we
generated "stable" patch-ids with the 'patch-id' tool. Let's port that
similar logic over from patch-id.c into diff.c so we can get the same
hash when we're generating patch-ids for 'format-patch --base=' types of
command invocations.

I tried out 'git format-patch --base' with a set of commits that
modifies more than one file. It turns out that the way this command is
implemented it actually uses the unstable version of patch-id instead of
the stable version that's documented. When I tried to modify the
existing test to use 'git patch-id --stable' vs. 'git patch-id
--unstable' I found that it didn't matter, the test still passed.
Let's expand on the test here so it is a little more complicated and
then use that to show that the patch-id generation is actually unstable
vs. stable. Update the documentation as well.

The make_cover_letter() function is supposed to open a new file for

but because the function does not return anything, the caller does not

When submitting a revised version of a patch or series, it can be
helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the
previous attempt in the form of an interdiff, typically in the cover
letter. However, it is occasionally useful, despite making for a noisy
read, to insert an interdiff into the commentary section of the lone
patch of a 1-patch series.
Therefore, extend "git format-patch --interdiff=<prev>" to insert an
interdiff into the commentary section of a lone patch rather than
requiring a cover letter. The interdiff is indented to avoid confusing
git-am and human readers into considering it part of the patch proper.
Implementation note: Generating an interdiff for insertion into the
commentary section of a patch which itself is currently being generated
requires invoking the diffing machinery recursively. However, the
machinery does not (presently) support this since it uses global state.
Consequently, we need to take care to stash away the state of the
in-progress operation while generating the interdiff, and restore it
after.

When submitting a revised version of a patch series, it can be helpful

Add an --interdiff option to automate this process. The argument to

for a reply. Move it above the signature, so people can reply to it

Similarly, when producing the patch as a MIME attachment, the
original code placed the base info after the attached part, which
would be discarded. Move the base info to the end of the part,
still inside the part boundary.

* ew/mboxrd-format-am:
am: support --patch-format=mboxrd

This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking
readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message.
Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to
be fully-reversible. "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to
showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers.
This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting
completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having
multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers.
"mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems
of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing
tooling based around mailsplit.

The one-shot environment variable syntax:
FOO=BAR some-program
is unportable when some-program is actually a shell
function, like test_must_fail (on some shells FOO remains
set after the function returns, and on others it does not).
We sometimes get around this by using env, like:
test_must_fail env FOO=BAR some-program
But that only works because test_must_fail's arguments are
themselves a command which can be run. You can't run:
env FOO=BAR test_must_fail some-program
because env does not know about our shell functions. So
there is no equivalent for test_commit, for example, and one
must resort to:
(
FOO=BAR
export FOO
test_commit
)
which is a bit verbose. Let's add a version of "env" that
works _inside_ the shell, by creating a subshell, exporting
variables from its argument list, and running the command.
Its use is demonstrated on a currently-unportable case in

Maintainers or third party testers may want to know the exact base tree
the patch series applies to. Teach git format-patch a '--base' option
to record the base tree info and append it at the end of the first
message (either the cover letter or the first patch in the series).
The base tree info consists of the "base commit", which is a well-known
commit that is part of the stable part of the project history everybody
else works off of, and zero or more "prerequisite patches", which are
well-known patches in flight that is not yet part of the "base commit"
that need to be applied on top of "base commit" in topological order
before the patches can be applied.
The "base commit" is shown as "base-commit: " followed by the 40-hex of
the commit object name. A "prerequisite patch" is shown as
"prerequisite-patch-id: " followed by the 40-hex "patch id", which can
be obtained by passing the patch through the "git patch-id --stable"
command.
Imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known
patches X, Y and Z from somebody else, and then built your three-patch
series A, B, C, the history would be like:
---P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C
With "git format-patch --base=P -3 C" (or variants thereof, e.g. with
"--cover-letter" of using "Z..C" instead of "-3 C" to specify the
range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the
first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the
cover letter), like this:
base-commit: P
prerequisite-patch-id: X
prerequisite-patch-id: Y
prerequisite-patch-id: Z

This is because the code passes the tips it used for traversal to
clear_commit_marks(), after running a temporary revision traversal
to enumerate the commits on both branches to find if they have
commits that make equivalent changes. The revision traversal
machinery knows how to enumerate commits reachable starting from a
tag, but clear_commit_marks() wants to take nothing but a commit.
In the longer term, it might be a more correct fix to teach

Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option,
which places the author ident into an in-body from header,
and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The
documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header
when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never
implemented that behavior.
This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents
and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same
as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by
definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it
reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches
your particular workflow), rather than only using it when
exporting other people's patches.

Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the
author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however,
you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they
are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body
header.
Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the
transformation before sending out the emails. However, some
workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom
script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each
implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is
non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any
RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).
This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.
