When using --cover-letter, a cover letter is created even if the patch
series is only one patch long. By setting format.coveronepatch to 'false', this
is prevented. To temporarily force creating cover letter even for
one-patch "series", the --cover-one-patch option may be used.
To always create cover letters, the format.coverletter option may be set
to 'true'.
A possible setup to create cover letters for every created patch series,
that is longer than one patch, would be:
[format]
coverletter = true
coveronepatch = false
git-format-patch's default behaviour is not altered by this patch.
