If set to true, format-patch behaves like it had been started
using the --cover-letter option.
An exception is if it is called using the --stdout option,
which disables format.coverauto, because users of --stdout
(like git-rebase.sh) usually are not interested in
cover letters at all.
If you do want it anyway, you can use:
% git format-patch --stdout --cover-letter
