Subject: Add custom subject prefix support to format-patch (take 3)
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.2-rc0~62
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2d9e4a47d16e9d2100cc88ef6126aa7619be51ed;p=git.git

Add custom subject prefix support to format-patch (take 3)

Add a new option to git-format-patch, entitled --subject-prefix that allows
control of the subject prefix '[PATCH]'. Using this option, the text 'PATCH' is
replaced with whatever input is provided to the option. This allows easily
generating patches like '[PATCH 2.6.21-rc3]' or properly numbered series like
'[-mm3 PATCH N/M]'. This patch provides the implementation and documentation.
