[PATCH] Teach applymbox to keep the Subject: line.

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:04
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

This is a companion patch to the previous format-patch fix.
With "-k", format-patch can be told not to remove the [PATCH] in
the original commit, nor to add the [PATCH] on its own.

However, applymbox toolchain has a code to remove [PATCH] (among
other things) from the Subject: line, which is the right thing
to do when dealing with real e-mailed patches, but it interferes
with the "format-patch to applymbox" cherry-picking.  The -k
flag disables this.
