[PATCH 2/2] format-patch: give --reroll-count a short synonym -v

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In-Reply-To
<1357166525-12188-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>

Accept "-v" as a synonym to "--reroll-count", so that users can say "git format-patch -v4 master", instead of having to fully spell it out as "git format-patch --reroll-count=4 master".

 * As I do not think of a reason why users would want to tell the
   command to be "verbose", I think it may be OK to squat on the
   short and sweet single letter option, but I do not mind dropping
   it.
