2020-04-07format-patch: teach --no-encode-email-headersLibravatar Emma Brooks1-0/+5
When commit subjects or authors have non-ASCII characters, git format-patch Q-encodes them so they can be safely sent over email. However, if the patch transfer method is something other than email (web review tools, sneakernet), this only serves to make the patch metadata harder to read without first applying it (unless you can decode RFC 2047 in your head). git am as well as some email software supports non-Q-encoded mail as described in RFC 6531. Add --[no-]encode-email-headers and format.encodeEmailHeaders to let the user control this behavior. Signed-off-by: Emma Brooks <me@pluvano.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-12-25Merge branch 'dl/format-patch-notes-config-fixup'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+17
"git format-patch" can take a set of configured format.notes values to specify which notes refs to use in the log message part of the output. The behaviour of this was not consistent with multiple --notes command line options, which has been corrected. * dl/format-patch-notes-config-fixup: notes.h: fix typos in comment notes: break set_display_notes() into smaller functions config/format.txt: clarify behavior of multiple format.notes format-patch: move git_config() before repo_init_revisions() format-patch: use --notes behavior for format.notes notes: extract logic into set_display_notes() notes: create init_display_notes() helper notes: rename to load_display_notes()
2019-12-13config/format.txt: clarify behavior of multiple format.notesLibravatar Denton Liu1-1/+17
In 8164c961e1 (format-patch: use --notes behavior for format.notes, 2019-12-09), we slightly tweaked the behavior of having multiple `format.notes` configuration variables. We did not update the documentation to reflect this, however. Explictly state the behavior of having multiple `format.notes` configuration variables so users are clear on what to expect.

The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be filled. * dl/format-patch-cover-from-desc: format-patch: teach --cover-from-description option format-patch: use enum variables format-patch: replace erroneous and condition
2019-10-16format-patch: teach --cover-from-description optionLibravatar Denton Liu1-0/+6
Before, when format-patch generated a cover letter, only the body would be populated with a branch's description while the subject would be populated with placeholder text. However, users may want to have the subject of their cover letter automatically populated in the same way. Teach format-patch to accept the `--cover-from-description` option and corresponding `format.coverFromDescription` config, allowing users to populate different parts of the cover letter (including the subject now).

2019-10-12format-patch: create leading components of output directoryLibravatar Bert Wesarg1-1/+1
'git format-patch -o <outdir>' did an equivalent of 'mkdir <outdir>' not 'mkdir -p <outdir>', which is being corrected. Avoid the usage of 'adjust_shared_perm' on the leading directories which may have security implications. Achieved by temporarily disabling of 'config.sharedRepository' like 'git init' does.

2019-05-17format-patch: teach format.notes config optionLibravatar Denton Liu1-0/+15
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. Signed-off-by: Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
