[PATCH 7/7] format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Dec 22, 2012, 08:33 UTC
Message-ID
<1356165212-5611-8-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<1356165212-5611-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>
The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer:
 - Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified.  As the default
   subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it
   "PATCH v2".
 - Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files.  The cover
   letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
   v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.

This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds. The user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out the patches belonging to the second iteration easily.
