Here is what I tentatively queued.
    rebase-am: explicitly disable cover-letter
    
    If the user has a cover-letter configuration set to anything
    other than 'false', 'git format-patch' may generate a cover
    letter, which has no place in "format-patch | am" pipeline.
    
    The internal invocatoin of format-patch must explicitly override
    the configuration from the command line, just like --src-prefix
    and other options already do.
