format.useAutoBase::
A boolean value which lets you enable the `--base=auto` option of
format-patch by default.
format.notes::
Provides the default value for the `--notes` option to
format-patch. Accepts a boolean value, or a ref which specifies
where to get notes. If false, format-patch defaults to
`--no-notes`. If true, format-patch defaults to `--notes`. If
set to a non-boolean value, format-patch defaults to
`--notes=<ref>`, where `ref` is the non-boolean value. Defaults
to false.
+
If one wishes to use the ref `ref/notes/true`, please use that literal
instead.
+
This configuration can be specified multiple times in order to allow
multiple notes refs to be included.
