There were two reasons we didn't do this. As "git am" is designed
to grok e-mailed patches, not necessarily taken out of a Git
repostiory or even if it came from a Git repository not necessarily
produced with format-patch, we didn't want to single it out as the
"blessed" input producer to the command. Also, in the original
workflow that "git am" was invented for, the user of "am" was
expected to be a different person than the users of "format-patch".
But this is a very safe change to make in 2023. Thanks to the
effort by many contributors, Git ended up becoming a bit more
popular than we initially thought it would be, and "format-patch",
which took me a few weeks to pursuade Linus to take in 2005, seems
to have become the de-facto standard tool to produce patch e-mails.
Interestingly, the documentation for "git apply", which is listed in
SEE ALSO section of "git am" documentation, does mention "am" and
"format-patch" as two things that are related but different from
"apply" in an early part.

That's because char is unsigned on that platform. Use int instead, just
like in struct diff_options, to copy the value faithfully.

This document only explains PGP signatures, but Git now supports X.509
signatures as of 1e7adb9756 (gpg-interface: introduce new signature
format "x509" using gpgsm, 2018-07-17), and SSH signatures as of
29b315778e (ssh signing: add ssh key format and signing code,
2021-09-10).
Additionally, explain that these signature formats are controlled
`gpg.format`, linking to its documentation, and explain in said
`gpg.format` documentation that the underlying signature format is
documented in signature-format.txt.

The format.attach configuration variable lacked a way to override a
value defined in a lower-priority configuration file (e.g. the
system one) by redefining it in a higher-priority configuration
file. Now, setting format.attach to an empty string means show the
patch inline in the e-mail message, without using MIME attachment.
This is a backward incompatible change.

"git archive HEAD^{tree}" records the paths with the current

When a comment describing how each test file should start was added in
commit [1], it was the second comment of t/test-lib.sh. The comment
describes how variable "test_description" is supposed to be assigned at
the top of each test file and how "test-lib.sh" should be used by
sourcing it. However, even in [1], the comment was ten lines away from
the usage of the variable by test-lib.sh. Since then, the comment has
drifted away both from the top of the file and from the usage of the
variable. The comment just sits in the middle of the initialization of
the test library, surrounded by unrelated code, almost one hundred lines
away from the usage of "test_description".
Nobody has noticed this drift during evolution of test-lib.sh, which
suggests that this comment has outlived its usefulness. The assignment
of "test_description", sourcing of "test-lib.sh" by tests, and the
process of writing tests in general are described in detail in
"t/README". So drop the obsolete comment.
An alternative solution could be to move the comment either to the top
of the file, or down to the usage of variable "test_description".

The style of t9700-perl-git.sh is old. There are 3 problems:
* A title is not on the same line with test_expect_success command.
* A test body is indented by whitespaces.
* There are whitespaces after redirect operators.
Modernize test scripts by:
* Combine the title with test_expect_success command.
* Replace whitespace indents with TAB.
* Delete whitespaces after redirect operators.
