Re: forcing an in-body From header

I agree with you on all points in the above sentence ;-) I do not
think anybody minds if a command line option to "git format-patch"
added in builtin/log.c::cmd_format_patch() and a new configuration
variable taught to builtin/log.c::git_format_config() that gives
the default value for the new "force_in_body_from" member that will
be added to "struct rev_info" and relayed to "pretty_print_context"
when log-tree.c::fmt_output_commit() calls format_commit_messages().

Or something like that.
