Topic name: kh/format-noprefix-boolean
Topic summary: The config `format.noprefix` should act like a boolean. But now it is active no matter what the value is. Change it to act like a boolean like `diff.noprefix`. Also mention it instead of `diff.noprefix` in git-format-patch(1) doc.
This is a breaking change. But I have opted to die if the config is not a boolean and just hint about the change. See also Peff’s comment on such a breaking change in that link.
I have also asked here about marking breaking changes:
