[PATCH 0/7] format-patch --reroll-count

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:55:35

The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer:

 - Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified.  As the default
   subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it
   "PATCH v2".

 - Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files.  The cover
   letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
   v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.

This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple
iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a
newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds.  The
user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the
newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out
the patches belonging to the second iteration easily.

The early patches of this series are all preparatory clean-ups. I
think reopen_stdout() also can be cleaned up, but I'll leave it to
a future reroll.

[PATCH 4/7] get_patch_filename(): simplify function signature

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:55:35

Most functions that emit to a strbuf take the strbuf as their first
parameter; make this function follow suit.

The serial number of the patch being emitted (nr) and suffix used
for patch filename (suffix) are both recorded in rev_info; drop
these separate parameters and pass the rev_info directly.

[PATCH 7/7] format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:55:35

The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer:

 - Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified.  As the default
   subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it
   "PATCH v2".

 - Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files.  The cover
   letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
   v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.

This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple
iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a
newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds.  The
user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the
newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out
the patches belonging to the second iteration easily.

[PATCH 6/7] get_patch_filename(): split into two functions

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:55:35

The function switched between two operating modes depending on the
NULL-ness of its two parameters, as a hacky way to share small part
of implementation, sacrificing cleanliness of the API.

Implement "fmt_output_subject()" function that takes a subject
string and gives the name for the output file, and on top of it,
implement "fmt_output_commit()" function that takes a commit and
gives the name for the output file.

[PATCH 5/7] get_patch_filename(): drop "just-numbers" hack

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:55:35

The function chooses from three operating modes (format using the
subject, the commit, or just number) based on NULL-ness of two of
its parameters, which is an ugly hack for sharing only a bit of
code.

Separate out the "just numbers" part out to the callers.

   letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
   v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.

On the same subject of format-patch improvements, perhaps we should also:

   - Keep subject line in branch.%s.description too. No point in
     keeping writing the subject on every reroll.

   - Perhaps an option to save the current tip in reflog with reroll
     count so one can easily diff between two rerolls.
