From 13cdf78094a5ba2968adb90707d27b98f53db1f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denton Liu Date: Thu, 16 May 2019 19:14:14 -0400 Subject: format-patch: teach format.notes config option In git-format-patch, notes can be appended with the `--notes` option. However, this must be specified by the user on an invocation-by-invocation basis. If a user is not careful, it's possible that they may forget to include it and generate a patch series without notes. Teach git-format-patch the `format.notes` config option. Its value is a notes ref that will be automatically appended. The special value of "standard" can be used to specify the standard notes. This option is overridable with the `--no-notes` option in case a user wishes not to append notes.
