format-patch: fix ignored encode_email_headers for cover letter

2023-11-10T02:04:11Z

When writing the cover letter, the encode_email_headers option was ignored. That is, UTF-8 subject lines and email addresses were written out as-is, without any Q-encoding, even if --encode-email-headers was passed on the command line. This is due to encode_email_headers not being copied over from struct rev_info to struct pretty_print_context. Fix that and add a test. Signed-off-by: Simon Ser Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

tests: teach callers of test_i18ngrep to use test_grep

2023-11-02T08:13:44Z

They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep. This patch was produced more or less with git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /' and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit. You'll see that test_i18ngrep in a few t/lib-*.sh files corrected, in addition to the manual reproduction. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'dd/format-patch-rfc-updates'

"git format-patch --rfc --subject-prefix=" used to ignore the "--subject-prefix" option and used "[RFC PATCH]"; now we will add "RFC" prefix to whatever subject prefix is specified. This is a backward compatible change that may deserve a note. * dd/format-patch-rfc-updates: format-patch: --rfc honors what --subject-prefix sets

format-patch: --rfc honors what --subject-prefix sets

2023-08-31T22:02:21Z

Rather than replacing the configured subject prefix (either through the git config or command line) entirely with "RFC PATCH", this change prepends RFC to whatever subject prefix was already in use. This is useful, for example, when a user is working on a repository that has a subject prefix considered to disambiguate patches: git config format.subjectPrefix 'PATCH my-project' Prior to this change, formatting patches with --rfc would lose the 'my-project' information. The data flow for the subject-prefix was that rev.subject_prefix were to be kept the authoritative version of the subject prefix even while parsing command line options, and sprefix variable was used as a temporary area to futz with it. Now, the parsing code has been refactored to build the subject prefix into the sprefix variable and assigns its value at the end to rev.subject_prefix, which makes the flow easier to grasp.

format-patch: add --description-file option

2023-08-21T22:03:47Z

This patch makes it possible to directly feed a branch description to derive the cover letter from. The use case is formatting dynamically created temporary commits which are not referenced anywhere. The most obvious alternative would be creating a temporary branch and setting a description on it, but that doesn't seem particularly elegant.

In Git, almost all command line flags unconditionally override the corresponding config option.[1] Add a test to confirm that this is the case for `git format-patch --thread`.

e-mail workflow: Message-ID is spelled with ID in both capital letters

2023-04-03T15:55:43Z

We used to write "Message-Id:" and "Message-ID:" pretty much interchangeably, and the header name is defined to be case insensitive by the RFCs, but the canonical form "Message-ID:" is used throughout the RFC documents, so let's imitate it ourselves.
