In this email[1], Elijah pointed out that the handling of multiple `format.notes` configurations could be buggy. If we had `format.notes = <ref1>`, `format.notes = false` and `format.notes = <ref2>`, the behaviour is ambiguous. This series uses the way `--notes=<ref1> --no-notes --notes=<ref2>` is handled as a model and structures the handling of `format.notes` in a similar manner, allowing one `format.notes = false` to override previous configs. Also, in the same email, it was pointed out that git_config() should be called before repo_init_revisions(). In 13cdf78094 (format-patch: teach format.notes config option, 2019-05-16), the order was reversed. This series changes it back such that git_config() is called before repo_init_revisions(). This series is based on top of 'dl/format-patch-notes-config'. It has minor textual conflicts with 'pu'.
