Any text below the "-- " for the email signature gets treated as part of
the signature, and many mail clients will trim it from the quoted text
for a reply. Move it above the signature, so people can reply to it
more easily.
Similarly, when producing the patch as a MIME attachment, the
original code placed the base info after the attached part, which
would be discarded. Move the base info to the end of the part,
still inside the part boundary.
Add tests for the exact format of the email signature, and add tests
to ensure that the base info appears before the email signature when
producing a plain-text output, and that it appears before the part
boundary when producing a MIME attachment.

Teach format-patch and mailsplit (hence "am") how a line that
happens to begin with "From " in the e-mail message is quoted with
">", so that these lines can be restored to their original shape.
* ew/mboxrd-format-am:
am: support --patch-format=mboxrd
mailsplit: support unescaping mboxrd messages
pretty: support "mboxrd" output format
This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking
readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message.
Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to
be fully-reversible. "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to
showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers.
This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting
completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having
multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers.
"mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems
of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing
tooling based around mailsplit.

The one-shot environment variable syntax:
FOO=BAR some-program
is unportable when some-program is actually a shell
function, like test_must_fail (on some shells FOO remains
set after the function returns, and on others it does not).
We sometimes get around this by using env, like:
test_must_fail env FOO=BAR some-program
But that only works because test_must_fail's arguments are
themselves a command which can be run. You can't run:
env FOO=BAR test_must_fail some-program
because env does not know about our shell functions. So
there is no equivalent for test_commit, for example, and one
must resort to:
(
FOO=BAR
export FOO
test_commit
)
which is a bit verbose. Let's add a version of "env" that
works _inside_ the shell, by creating a subshell, exporting
variables from its argument list, and running the command.
Its use is demonstrated on a currently-unportable case in
t4014.

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

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.
Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".
This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written

format-patch: do not feed tags to clear_commit_marks()
"git format-patch --ignore-if-in-upstream A..B", when either A or B

This is because the code passes the tips it used for traversal to
clear_commit_marks(), after running a temporary revision traversal
to enumerate the commits on both branches to find if they have
commits that make equivalent changes. The revision traversal
machinery knows how to enumerate commits reachable starting from a
tag, but clear_commit_marks() wants to take nothing but a commit.
In the longer term, it might be a more correct fix to teach
clear_commit_marks() to do the same "committish to commit"
dereferencing that is done in the revision traversal machinery,
but for now this fix should suffice.

Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested
command with environment variable(s) set only for that command.
This however does not work if 'command' is a shell function (most
notably 'test_must_fail'); the result of the assignment is retained
and affects later commands.
To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables
and run such a test in a subshell, like so:
(
VAR=VAL && export VAR &&
test_must_fail git command to be tested
)
But with "env" utility, we should be able to say:
test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a

This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The

Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option,
which places the author ident into an in-body from header,
and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The
documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header
when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never
implemented that behavior.
This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents
and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same
as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by
definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it
reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches
your particular workflow), rather than only using it when
exporting other people's patches.

Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the
author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however,
you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they
are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body
header.
Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the
transformation before sending out the emails. However, some
workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom
script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each
implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is
non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any
RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).
This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

up RFC 2047 encoding, pretty.c::add_rfc2047() still decides
where to split the output line by going through the input
one byte at a time, and potentially splits a character in
the middle. A subject line may end up showing like this:
".... fö?? bar". (instead of ".... föö bar".)
if split incorrectly.
RFC 2047, section 5 (3) explicitly forbids such beaviour
Each 'encoded-word' MUST represent an integral number of
characters. A multi-octet character may not be split across
adjacent 'encoded- word's.
that means that e.g. for
Subject: .... föö bar
encoding
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?....=20f=C3=B6=C3=B6?=
=?UTF-8?q?=20bar?=
is correct, and
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?....=20f=C3=B6=C3?= <-- NOTE ö is broken here
=?UTF-8?q?=B6=20bar?=
is not, because "ö" character UTF-8 encoding C3 B6 is split here across
adjacent encoded words.
To fix the problem, make the loop grab one _character_ at a time and
determine its output length to see where to break the output line. Note
that this version only knows about UTF-8, but the logic to grab one
character is abstracted out in mbs_chrlen() function to make it possible
to extend it to other encodings with the help of iconv in the future.

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.
With this patch, my own name gets correctly decoded as Jan H. Schönherr
(without quotes) and not as "Jan H. Schönherr" (with quotes).

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).
