format-patch is most commonly used for multiple patches at once when
sending a patchset, in which case we want to number the patches; on
the other hand, single patches are not usually expected to be
numbered.
In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.
Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do
so with the existing -N command-line switch. Users that want to
change the default behavior can use the format.numbering config key.

According to the message of commit 0fe7c1de16,
"git diff" with three or more trees expects the merged tree first followed by
the parents, in order. However, this command reversed the order of its
arguments, resulting in confusing diffs. A comment /* Again, the revs are all
reverse */ suggested there was a reason for this, but I can't figure out the
reason, so I removed the reversal of the arguments. Test case included.

This patch makes two small changes to improve the output of --inline
and --attach.
The first is to write a newline preceding the boundary. This is needed because
MIME defines the encapsulation boundary as including the preceding CRLF (or in
this case, just LF), so we should be writing one. Without this, the last
newline in the pre-diff content is consumed instead.
The second change is to always write the line termination character
(default: newline) even when using --inline or --attach. This is simply to
improve the aesthetics of the resulting message. When using --inline an email
client should render the resulting message identically to the non-inline
version. And when using --attach this adds a blank line preceding the
attachment in the email, which is visually attractive.

Even if "foo" and/or "bar" does not exist in index, "git diff foo bar"
should not change behaviour drastically from "git diff foo bar baz" or
"git diff foo". A feature that "sometimes works and is handy" is an
unreliable cute hack.
"git diff foo bar" outside a git repository continues to work as a more
colourful alternative to "diff -u" as before.

Earlier, overly-long onelines would not be wrapped at all, and indented
with 6 spaces.
Instead, we now wrap around at 72 characters, with a first-line indent
of 2 spaces, and the rest with 4 spaces.

This fixes an unnecessary empty line that we add to the log message when
we generate diffs, but don't actually end up printing any due to having
DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT set.
This can happen with pickaxe or with rename following. The reason is that
we normally add an empty line between the commit and the diff, but we do
that even for the case where we've then suppressed the actual printing of
the diff.
This also updates a couple of tests that assumed the extraneous empty
line would exist at the end of output.

Panagiotis Issaris reports that some MUAs seem not to like
folded "content-type" and "content-disposition" headers, so this
makes format-patch --attach output to avoid them.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The existing --attach option did not create a true "attachment"
but multipart/mixed with Content-Disposition: inline. It should
have been with Content-Disposition: attachment.
Introduce --inline to add multipart/mixed that is inlined, and
make --attach to create an attachement.

This adds --summary output in addition to the --stat to the
output from git-format-patch by default.
I think additions, removals and filemode changes are rare but
notable events and always showing it makes sense.

This makes "git log/diff --summary" imply recursive behaviour,
whose effect is summarized in one test output:

When a file is created in a subdirectory, we used to say just
the directory name only when that directory also was created,
which did not make sense from two reasons. It is not any more
significant to create a new file in a new directory than to
create a new file in an existing directory, and even if it were,
reportinging the new directory name without saying the actual
filename is not useful.

This changes one test commit in the sequence to have more than
one lines of commit log. A few output formats (--pretty=email
aka format-patch and --pretty=oneline) need to behave
differently on single and multi-line log, and this change will

These are updates to the test vector that shows the "incompatibility" of
the new output code. The changes are actually the good ones, so instead
of keeping the older output we adjust the test to the new code.
