These "expect-failure" tests were not looking for the right string
in the patch file. For example:
grep "^ *"S. E. Cipient" <scipient@example.com>\$" patch5
was looking for "^ *S." in these three files:
"E."
"Cipient <scipient@example.com>$"
"patch5"
With some implementations of grep, the lack of file "E." was
reported as an error, leading to the failure of the test.
With other implementations of grep, the pattern "^ *S." matched what
was in patch5, without diagnosing the missing files as an error, and
made these tests unexpectedly pass.

git-format-patch does currently not parse user supplied extra header
values (e. g., --cc, --add-header) and just replays them. That forces
users to add them RFC 2822/2047 conform in encoded form, e.g.
--cc '=?UTF-8?q?Jan=20H=2E=20Sch=C3=B6nherr?= <...>'
which is inconvenient. We would want to update git-format-patch to
accept human-readable input
--cc 'Jan H. Schönherr <...>'
and handle the encoding, wrapping and quoting internally in the future,
similar to what is already done in git-send-email. The necessary code
should mostly exist in the code paths that handle the From: and Subject:
headers.
Whether we want to do this only for the git-format-patch options
--to and --cc (and the corresponding config options) or also for
user supplied headers via --add-header, is open for discussion.
For now, add test_expect_failure tests for To: and Cc: headers as a
reminder and fix tests that would otherwise fail should this get
implemented.

According to RFC 2047 and RFC 822, rfc2047 encoded words and and rfc822
quoted strings do not mix. Since add_rfc2047() no longer leaves RFC 822
specials behind, the quoting is also no longer necessary to create a
standard-conforming mail.
Remove the quoting, when RFC 2047 encoding takes place. This actually
requires to refactor add_rfc2047() a bit, so that the different cases
can be distinguished.

RFC 2047 requires more characters to be encoded than it is currently done.
Especially, RFC 2047 distinguishes between allowed remaining characters
in encoded words in addresses (From, To, etc.) and other headers, such
as Subject.
Make add_rfc2047() and is_rfc2047_special() location dependent and include
all non-allowed characters to hopefully be RFC 2047 conformant.
This especially fixes a problem, where RFC 822 specials (e. g. ".") were
left unencoded in addresses, which was solved with a non-standard-conforming
workaround in the past (which is going to be removed in a follow-up patch).

The threading tests turn on format.thread, but never clean

This is more annoying than most leftover config, too,

commit c9bfb953 (want_color: automatically fallback to color.ui,

In f3aafa4 (Disable color detection during format-patch, 2006-07-09),

Since c426003 (format-patch: add --no-cc, --no-to, and
--no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) the tests have checked for an option
called --no-add-headers introduced by letting the user negate
--add-header.
However, the parseopt machinery does not automatically pluralize
anything, so it is in fact called --no-add-header.
Since the option never worked, is not documented anywhere, and
implementing an actual --no-add-headers would lead to silly code
complications, we just adapt the test to the code.

If you give a zero-length subject prefix to format-patch

ugly:
Subject: [ 1/2] your subject here
because we always insert a space between the prefix and
numbering. Requiring the user to provide the space in their
prefix would be more flexible, but would break existing
usage. This patch provides a DWIM and suppresses the space
for zero-length prefixes, under the assumption that nobody

If somebody has a name that includes an rfc822 special, we
will output it literally in the "From:" header. This is
usually OK, but certain characters (like ".") are supposed
to be enclosed in double-quotes in a mail header.
In practice, whether this matters may depend on your MUA.
Some MUAs will happily take in:
From: Foo B. Bar <author@example.com>
without quotes, and properly quote the "." when they send
the actual mail. Others may not, or may screw up harder
things like:
From: Foo "The Baz" Bar <author@example.com>
For example, mutt will strip the quotes, thinking they are
actual syntactic rfc822 quotes.
So let's quote properly, and then (if necessary) we still
apply rfc2047 encoding on top of that, which should make all
MUAs happy.

We already wrap names in "from" headers, which tend to be
the long part of an address. But it's also possible for a
long name to not be wrapped, but to make us want to wrap the
email address. For example (imagine for the sake of
readability we want to wrap at 50 characters instead of 78):
From: this is my really long git name <foo@example.com>
The name does not overflow the line, but the name and email
together do. So we would rather see:
From: this is my really long git name
<git@example.com>
Because we wrap the name separately during add_rfc2047, we
neglected this case. Instead, we should see how long the
final line of the wrapped name ended up, and decide whether
or not to wrap based on that. We can't break the address
into multiple parts, so we either leave it with the name, or
put it by itself on a line.

Subject and identity headers may be arbitrarily long. In the
past, we just assumed that single-line headers would be
reasonably short. For multi-line subjects that we squish
into a single line, we just "pre-folded" the data in
pp_title_line by adding a newline and indentation.
There were two problems. One is that, although rare,
single-line messages can actually be longer than the
recommended line-length limits. The second is that the
pre-folding interacted badly with rfc2047 encoding, leading
to malformed headers.
Instead, let's stop pre-folding the subject lines, and just
fold everything based on length in add_rfc2047, whether
it is encoded or not.

By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.
This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default
git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option
will remove the signature from the patches entirely.

Jeff King recently reinstated -p to suppress the default diffstat
(as -p used to work before 68daa64, about 14 months ago).
However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options
(e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all.
The documentation does not mention this.
Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that
can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination
of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself.
Therefore:
* Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch.
* Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses
the generation of the patch, disallow those options,
and remove the description of them in the documentation.
* Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U.
* Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p
plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat).
* While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself
to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can
think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

Once upon a time, format-patch would use its default stat
plus patch format only when no diff format was given on the
command line. This meant that "format-patch -p" would
suppress the stat and show just the patch.
Commit 68daa64 changed this to keep the stat format when we
had an "implicit" patch format, like "-U5". As a side
effect, this meant that an explicit patch format was now
ignored (because cmd_format_patch didn't know the reason
that the format was set way down in diff_opt_parse).
This patch unbreaks what 68daa64 did (while still preserving
what 68daa64 was trying to do), reinstating "-p" to suppress
the default behavior. We do this by parsing "-p" ourselves
in format-patch, and noting whether it was used explicitly.

This function replaces sequences of 'chmod +x' and 'git update-index
--chmod=+x' in the test suite, whose purpose is to help filesystems
that need core.filemode=false. Two places where only 'chmod +x' was used
we also use this new function.
The function calls 'git update-index --chmod' without checking
core.filemode (unlike some of the call sites did). We do this because the
call sites *expect* that the executable bit ends up in the index (ie. it
is not the purpose of the call sites to *test* whether git treats
'chmod +x' and 'update-index --chmod=+x' correctly). Therefore, on
filesystems with core.filemode=true the 'git update-index --chmod' is a
no-op.
The function uses --add with update-index to help one call site in
t6031-merge-recursive. It makes no difference for the other callers.
