Rather than replacing the configured subject prefix (either through the git config or command line) entirely with "RFC PATCH", this change prepends RFC to whatever subject prefix was already in use.
This is useful, for example, when a user is working on a repository that has a subject prefix considered to disambiguate patches:
git config format.subjectPrefix 'PATCH my-project'
Prior to this change, formatting patches with --rfc would lose the 'my-project' information.
Signed-off-by: Drew DeVault <sir@cmpwn.com> --- Implementation note: this introduces a small memory leak, but freeing it requires a non-trivial amount of refactoring and some dubious choices that I was not sure of for a small patch; and it seems like memory leaks in this context are tolerated anyway from a perusal of the existing code.
