git format-patch is often used to create patches that are then stored in version control or displayed with diff. Having the commit hash in the "From " line usually just creates diff noise in these cases, so this series introduces --zero-commit to set that to all zeros.

Changes from v2:
* Improve the tests to be more idiomatic and avoid hard-coding line
  counts.
brian m. carlson (3):
  Introduce a null_oid constant.
  format-patch: add an option to suppress commit hash
  format-patch: check that header line has expected format
