format-patch: allow forcing the use of in-body From: header
Users may be authoring and committing their commits under the same e-mail address they use to send their patches from, in which case they shouldn't need to use the in-body From: line in their outgoing e-mails. At the receiving end, "git am" will use the address on the "From:" header of the incoming e-mail and all should be well. Some mailing lists, however, mangle the From: address from what the original sender had; in such a situation, the user may want to add the in-body "From:" header even for their own patches. "git format-patch --[no-]force-in-body-from" was invented for such users. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
