Set auto-number true by default, allowing the format.number key to be

Interesting.  No sign-off, no defense why this is actually desirable,
after we lived for so long without this behavior... Care to elaborate?

Doh, sorry about the Sign-off, I'll resend with.

Now, about the reason for this patch: I would say that the most common
use-case of format-patch being used to prepare multiple patches is
when one plans on sending a patchset. When format.numbering is set to
auto, single-patches will still be extracted without numbers, but
patchset will be properly numbered.


I like it. It hasn't bitten me since I moved to imap-send, but when I
used send-email I sometimes forgot and ended up sending patch-series
without numbers.

I sent a patch for it once, but changed the default instead of making
it configurable so it got turned down.
