Merge branch 'ob/format-patch-description-file'
"git format-patch" learns a way to feed cover letter description,
that (1) can be used on detached HEAD where there is no branch
description available, and (2) also can override the branch
description if there is one.
* ob/format-patch-description-file:
format-patch: add --description-file option
