Commit a9080475 taught format-patch the "--from" option,
which places the author ident into an in-body from header,
and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header.  The
documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header
when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never
implemented that behavior.

This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents
and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same
as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by
definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it
reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches
your particular workflow), rather than only using it when
exporting other people's patches.

Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the
author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however,
you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they
are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body
header.

Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the
transformation before sending out the emails. However, some
workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom
script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each
implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is
non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any
RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).

This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email.  It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

In the current code, callers are expected to fill in the
pretty_print_context, and then the pretty.c functions simply
read from it. This leaves no room for the pretty.c functions
to communicate with each other by manipulating the context
(e.g., data seen while printing the header may impact how we
print the body).

Rather than introduce a new struct to hold modifiable data,
let's just drop the const-ness of the existing context
struct.

The original way to specify remote repository using .git/branches/

We read loose and packed rerferences in two steps, but after
