[PATCH v2] format-patch: teach --no-q-encode-headers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When commit subjects or authors have non-ASCII characters, git
format-patch Q-encodes them so they can be safely sent over email.
However, if the patch transfer method is something other than email (web
review tools, sneakernet), this only serves to make the patch metadata
harder to read without first applying it (unless you can decode RFC 2047
in your head). git am as well as some email software supports
non-Q-encoded mail as described in RFC 6531.

Add --[no-]q-encode-headers and format.qEncodeHeaders to let the user
control this behavior.

Changes since v1:

- Rename --encode-headers to --q-encode-headers
- Rename format.encodeHeaders to format.qEncodeHeaders
- Simplify language in docs
- Reel in over-indented lines
