From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
When "git am --show-current-patch" was added in commit 984913a210 ("am:
add --show-current-patch", 2018-02-12), "git am" started recommending it
as a replacement for .git/rebase-merge/patch. Unfortunately the suggestion
is misguided; for example, the output "git am --show-current-patch" cannot
be passed to "git apply" if it is encoded as quoted-printable or base64.
This series adds a new mode to "git am --show-current-patch" in order to
straighten the suggestion. "--show-current-patch" grows an optional
argument, where the default behavior can now also be obtained with
"--show-current-patch=raw" and ".git/rebase-apply/patch" can be retrieved
with "--show-current-patch=diff".
This requires a little surgery in patches 1 and 2 in order to convert
--show-current-patch from OPTION_CMDMODE to OPTION_CALLBACK. After this,
the last two patches implement the new syntax and feature.
Thanks,
Paolo
