format-patch is often used for multiple patches at once when sending a patchset, in which case we want to number the patches; on the other hand, single-patches are not usually expected to be numbered. The typical behavior expected by format-patch is therefore the one obtained by enabling autonumber, which should thus be the default. Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do so with the existing -N command-line switch. For users that want to change the default behavior we provide a 'noauto' option for the format.numbering config key.
