Merge branch 'xy/format-patch-base'

"git format-patch" learned a new "--base" option to record what
(public, well-known) commit the original series was built on in
its output.

* xy/format-patch-base:
  format-patch: introduce format.useAutoBase configuration
  format-patch: introduce --base=auto option
  format-patch: add '--base' option to record base tree info
  patch-ids: make commit_patch_id() a public helper function

BASE TREE INFORMATION
---------------------
The base tree information block is used for maintainers or third party
testers to know the exact state the patch series applies to. It 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
------------
For non-linear topology, such as
................................................
---P---X---A---M---C
\ /
Y---Z---B
................................................
You can also use `git format-patch --base=P -3 C` to generate patches
for A, B and C, and the identifiers for P, X, Y, Z are appended at the
end of the first message.
If set `--base=auto` in cmdline, it will track base commit automatically,
the base commit will be the merge base of tip commit of the remote-tracking
branch and revision-range specified in cmdline.
For a local branch, you need to track a remote branch by `git branch
--set-upstream-to` before using this option.
