patman: check git format.subjectprefix setting when generate patches prefix

2015-04-23T18:35:50Z

For the local project, we may specified format.subjectprefix setting. Then the patch will be formated as [Project_prefix][PATCH]. But patman will not check this setting. It will remove the format.subjectprefix. So This patch will let patman check this setting and add it as a project prefix. Signed-off-by: Josh Wu Acked-by: Simon Glass Tested-by: Simon Glass

patman: Use Patch-cc: instead of Cc:

2014-03-22T20:47:30Z

Add a new Patch-cc: tag which performs the service now provided by the Cc: tag. The Cc: tag is interpreted by git send-email but ignored by patman. So now: Cc: patman does nothing. (git send-email can cc patches) Patch-cc: patman Cc's patch and removes this tag from the patch Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: add Commit-notes tag and section

2013-11-21T20:35:51Z

Sometimes a commit should have notes enclosed with it rather than withing the cover letter -- possibly even because there is no cover letter. Add a 'Commit-notes' tag, similar to the 'Series-notes' one; lines between this tag and the next END line are inserted in the patch right after the '---' commit delimiter.
