Merge branch 'jt/format-patch-rfc'
In some projects, it is common to use "[RFC PATCH]" as the subject
prefix for a patch meant for discussion rather than application. A
new option "--rfc" was a short-hand for "--subject-prefix=RFC PATCH"
to help the participants of such projects.
* jt/format-patch-rfc:
format-patch: add "--rfc" for the common case of [RFC PATCH]
