* format-patch: introduce format.useAutoBase configurationXiaolong Ye2016-04-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows to record the base commit automatically, it is equivalent to set --base=auto in cmdline. The format.useAutoBase has lower priority than command line option, so if user set format.useAutoBase and pass the command line option in the meantime, base_commit will be the one passed to command line option.

* format-patch: add '--base' option to record base tree infoXiaolong Ye2016-04-261-0/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintainers or third party testers may want to know the exact base tree the patch series applies to. Teach git format-patch a '--base' option to record the base tree info and append it at the end of the first message (either the cover letter or the first patch in the series). The base tree info consists of the "base commit", which is a well-known commit that is part of the stable part of the project history everybody else works off of, and zero or more "prerequisite patches", which are well-known patches in flight that is not yet part of the "base commit" that need to be applied on top of "base commit" in topological order before the patches can be applied. The "base commit" is shown as "base-commit: " followed by the 40-hex of the commit object name. A "prerequisite patch" is shown as "prerequisite-patch-id: " followed by the 40-hex "patch id", which can be obtained by passing the patch through the "git patch-id --stable" command. Imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known patches X, Y and Z from somebody else, and then built your three-patch series A, B, C, the history would be like: ---P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C With "git format-patch --base=P -3 C" (or variants thereof, e.g. with "--cover-letter" of using "Z..C" instead of "-3 C" to specify the range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the cover letter), like this: base-commit: P prerequisite-patch-id: X prerequisite-patch-id: Y prerequisite-patch-id: Z Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Helped-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Xiaolong Ye <xiaolong.ye@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"git config" learnt a new "--show-origin" option to indicate where the values come from. * ls/config-origin: config: add '--show-origin' option to print the origin of a config value config: add 'origin_type' to config_source struct rename git_config_from_buf to git_config_from_mem t: do not hide Git's exit code in tests using 'nul_to_q'
