These new options allow users to override their config settings for
format.cc, format.to and format.headers respectively. These options
only make git ignore the config settings and any previous command line
options, so you'll still have to add more command line options to add
extra headers. For example,

	$ cat .git/config
	[format]
		to = Someone <someone@out.there>
	$ git format-patch -1 --no-to --to="Someone Else <else@out.there>"

would format a patch addressed to "Someone Else" and not "Someone".

Has the same functionality as the '--cc' option and 'format.cc'
configuration variable but for the "To:" email header.  Half of the code to
support this was already there.

With email the To: header usually more important than the Cc: header.

One test case used 'xargs test', which assumes that 'test' is available
as external program. At least on MinGW it is not.

Moreover, 'git format-patch' was invoked in a pipeline, but not as the
last command. Rewrite the test case to catch breakage in 'git format-patch'
as well.

Jeff King recently reinstated -p to suppress the default diffstat
(as -p used to work before 68daa64d, about 14 months ago).

However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options
(e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all.
The documentation does not mention this.

Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that
can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination
of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself.

Therefore:

* Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch.

* Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses
  the generation of the patch, disallow those options,
  and remove the description of them in the documentation.

* Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U.

* Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p
  plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat).

* While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself
  to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can
  think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

Once upon a time, format-patch would use its default stat
plus patch format only when no diff format was given on the
command line. This meant that "format-patch -p" would
suppress the stat and show just the patch.

Commit 68daa64d changed this to keep the stat format when we
had an "implicit" patch format, like "-U5". As a side
effect, this meant that an explicit patch format was now
ignored (because cmd_format_patch didn't know the reason
that the format was set way down in diff_opt_parse).

This patch unbreaks what 68daa64d did (while still preserving
what 68daa64d was trying to do), reinstating "-p" to suppress
the default behavior. We do this by parsing "-p" ourselves
in format-patch, and noting whether it was used explicitly.

Most scripts don't care about the absolute path to the trash
directory. The one exception was t4014 script, which pieced
together $TEST_DIRECTORY and $test itself to get an absolute
directory.

Instead, let's provide a $TRASH_DIRECTORY which specifies
the same thing. This keeps the $test variable internal to
test-lib.sh and paves the way for trash directories in other
locations.

This function replaces sequences of 'chmod +x' and 'git update-index
--chmod=+x' in the test suite, whose purpose is to help filesystems
that need core.filemode=false. Two places where only 'chmod +x' was used
we also use this new function.

The function calls 'git update-index --chmod' without checking
core.filemode (unlike some of the call sites did). We do this because the
call sites *expect* that the executable bit ends up in the index (ie. it
is not the purpose of the call sites to *test* whether git treats
'chmod +x' and 'update-index --chmod=+x' correctly). Therefore, on
filesystems with core.filemode=true the 'git update-index --chmod' is a
no-op.

The function uses --add with update-index to help one call site in
t6031-merge-recursive. It makes no difference for the other callers.

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.

Currently, format-patch --thread --cover-letter --in-reply-to $parent
makes all mails, including the cover letter, a reply to $parent.
However, we would want the reader to consider the cover letter above
all the patches.

This changes the semantics so that only the cover letter is a reply to
$parent, while all the patches are formatted as replies to the cover
letter.

t4014 tests format-patch --thread since 7d812145, but the tests were
ineffective right from the start at least for bash and dash.  The
loops of the form

  for ...; do something || break; done

introduced by 7d812145 and 5d02294c always exit with status 0, even if
'something' failed, because 'break' returns 0 unless there was no loop
to break.

We take a rather different approach that uses an admittedly heinous
inline Perl script to mangle all interesting information into a format
that is invariant between runs.  We can then test the full patch
sequence in one go (with --stdout), doing away with the loop problem.

Previously, running "git format-patch -U5" would cause the
low-level diff machinery to change the diff output format
from "not specified" to "patch". This meant that
format-patch thought we explicitly specified a diff output
format, and would not use the default format. The resulting
message lacked both the diffstat and the summary, as well as
the separating "---".

Now format-patch explicitly checks for this condition and
uses the default. That means that "git format-patch -p" will
now have the "-p" ignored.

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the

Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.
