format-patch: make sure header and body are separated.

2005-12-20T05:55:12Z

Since log message in a commit object is defined to be binary blob, it could be something without an empty line between the title line and the body text. Be careful to format such into a form suitable for e-mail submission. There must be an empty line between the headers and the body. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

format-patch: use same number of digits in numbers

2005-12-11T06:22:35Z

This would help sorting by subject in MUA work saner even though MUA is too dumb to attempt sorting numbered subjects sanely. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

format-patch: run diff in C locale

2005-11-29T22:27:59Z

Otherwise it would show incomplete line and binary markers in a locale dependent way. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

format-patch: do not abuse 3-dash marker line.

2005-11-29T22:26:48Z

Before GIT version at the end of output we used a 3-dash marker; but 3-dash marker is special and should not be overused. Instead, use "-- " which is a standard practice in e-mails to signal the beginning of trailing garbage. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

format-patch: remove applies-to.

2005-11-29T22:25:00Z

The attempt to help 3-way fallback by recording the tree object id for the entire pre-image was unnecessary, and we already have an better alternative in the form of per-blob "index" lines. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

format-patch: output filename reported to stdout verbatim.

2005-11-26T20:09:07Z

Prepending asterisk to the output was just adding noise, and making scripts like proposed git-send-mail by Andreas Ericsson do unnecessary work. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-sh-setup: die if outside git repository.

2005-11-25T21:49:17Z

Now all the users of this script detect its exit status and die, complaining that it is outside git repository. So move the code that dies from all callers to git-sh-setup script. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

format-patch: fix two-argument special case, and make it easier to pick single commits

2005-11-21T20:21:24Z

Luben Tuikov noticed that sometimes being able to say 'git-format-patch ' to format the change a single commit introduces relative to its parent is handy. This patch does not support that directly, but it makes sense to interpret a single argument "rev" to mean "rev^1..rev". With this, the backward compatibility syntaxes still apply: - "format-patch master" means "format-patch master..HEAD" - "format-patch origin master" means "format-patch origin..master" - "format-patch origin.." means "format-patch origin..HEAD" But "format-patch a b c d e" formats the changes these five commits introduce relative to their respective parents. Earlier it rejected these arguments not in "one..two" form. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Do not lose author name information to locale gotchas.

2005-11-11T08:37:34Z

I noticed format-patch loses authorship information of Lukas' patch when I run git tools with LC_LANG set to ja_JP. It turns out that the sed script to set environment variables were not working on his name (encoded in UTF-8), which is unfortunate but technically correct. Force sed invocation under C locale because we always want literal byte semantics. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
