Thanks for reporting the breakage, Christian.

Apparently, this use case has been broken for a long time... Since
bb52995f3e (format-patch: introduce format.useAutoBase configuration,
2016-04-26). I'm surprised it's only been reported now.

Thanks for fixing! Maybe few people use this option as it's not
documented in the format-patch manpage? (A separate thing to fix, I
guess)

This patchset fixes the breakage by teaching
`git format-patch --no-base` and making rebase use it.

Denton Liu (5):
  t3400: demonstrate failure with format.useAutoBase
  format-patch: fix indentation
  t4014: use `test_config`
  format-patch: teach --no-base
  rebase: fix `format.useAutoBase` breakage
