From ce36894509bac4c03fd524fc668b1e43d6e56ee1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 10:52:34 -0700 Subject: format-patch: "--rfc=-(WIP)" appends to produce [PATCH (WIP)] In the previous step, the "--rfc" option of "format-patch" learned to take an optional string value to prepend to the subject prefix, so that --rfc=WIP can give "[WIP PATCH]". There may be cases in which the extra string wants to come after the subject prefix. Extend the mechanism to allow "--rfc=-(WIP)" [*] to signal that the extra string is to be appended instead of getting prepended, resulting in "[PATCH (WIP)]". In the documentation, discourage (ab)using "--rfc=-RFC" to say "[PATCH RFC]" just to be different, when "[RFC PATCH]" is the norm. [Footnote] * The syntax takes inspiration from Perl's open syntax that opens pipes "open fh, '|-', 'cmd'", where the dash signals "the other stuff comes here".
