If you regularly create patches which require a Signed-off: line you may
want to make it your default to add that line. It also helps you not to forget
to add the -s/--signoff switch.

format-patch supports the format.headers configuration for adding
arbitrary email headers to the patches it outputs. This patch adds
support for an --add-header argument which makes the same feature
available from the command line. This is useful when the content of
custom email headers must change from branch to branch.

Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option.
Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root
commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch
text for the root commit any more.
Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION
section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that
root commits are formatted regardless.

For example:
git format-patch --numbered-files --stdout --attach HEAD~~
will create two messages with files 1 and 2 attached respectively.
Without --attach/--inline but with --stdout, --numbered-files option
can be simply ignored, because we are not creating any file ourselves.

* tr/format-patch-thread:

For deep threading mode, i.e., the mode that gives a thread structured
like
+ [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
`-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
`-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
`-+ ...
we currently have to use 'git send-email --thread' (the default). On
the other hand, format-patch also has a --thread option which gives
shallow mode, i.e.,
+ [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
|-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
|-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
...
To reduce the confusion resulting from having two indentically named
features in different tools giving different results, let format-patch
take an optional argument '--thread=deep' that gives the same output
as 'send-mail --thread'. With no argument, or 'shallow', behave as
before. Also add a configuration variable format.thread with the same
semantics.

* maint:
format-patch documentation: mention the special case of showing a single commit
|
|
Even long timers seem to have missed that "format-patch -1 $commit" is a
much simpler and more obvious way to say "format-patch $commit^..$commit"
from the current documentation (and an example "format-patch -3 $commit"
to get three patches). Add an explicit instruction in a much earlier part
of the documentation to make it easier to find.

format-patch is most commonly used for multiple patches at once when
sending a patchset, in which case we want to number the patches; on
the other hand, single patches are not usually expected to be
numbered.
In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.
Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do
so with the existing -N command-line switch. Users that want to
change the default behavior can use the format.numbering config key.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \

With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a
clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and
the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash
after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter.
I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some
spots.

In listing blocks (set off by rows of dashes), the usual
formatting characters of asciidoc are instead rendered verbatim.
When the escaped double-hyphen of olden days is moved into such a
block along with other formatting improvements, it becomes
backslash-dash-dash.
So we remove the backslash.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.
Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.
Some are:
-f, --foo::
-f|--foo::
-f | --foo::
But AsciiDoc has the special form:
-f::
--foo::
This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Before this patch in "git-add.txt" and "git-format-patch.txt", the
commands used in the examples were "git-CMD" instead of "git CMD".
This patch fixes that.
In "git-pull.txt" only the last example had the code sample in an
asciidoc "Listing Block", and in the other two files, none.
This patch fixes that by putting all code samples in listing
blocks.

Asciidoc configuration:

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

Customize diff-options depending on particular command as follows,
mostly to make git-diff and git-format-patch manuals less confusing:
* git-format-patch:
- Mark --patch-with-stat as being the default.
- Change -p description so that it matches what it actually does and
so that it doesn't refer to absent "section on generating
patches".
* git-diff: mark -p as being the default.
* git-diff-index/git-diff-files/git-diff-tree: mark --raw as being
the default.

We used to trigger the special case "things not in origin"
semantics only when one and only one positive ref is given, and
no number (e.g. "git format-patch -4 origin") was specified, and
used the general revision range semantics for everything else.
This narrows the special case a bit more, by making:
git format-patch --root this_version
to show everything that leads to the named commit.
More importantly, document the two different semantics better.
The generic revision range semantics came later and bolted on
without being clearly documented.

control of the subject prefix '[PATCH]'. Using this option, the text 'PATCH' is
replaced with whatever input is provided to the option. This allows easily

'[-mm3 PATCH N/M]'. This patch provides the implementation and documentation.
