[PATCH 0/4] format-patch --cover-letter --in-reply-to

Lemma 1: Any task, no matter how trivial, expands to at least three
         patches.

Turns out there were tests, but they never worked. In any case it should now know how to properly format References, and also knows about deep and shallow threading.

I formatted this series with
  git format-patch origin/master..t/thread-reply-to-cover \
    --cover-letter --thread \
    --in-reply-to='<200902170027.09406.trast@student.ethz.ch>'
Thomas Rast (4):
  format-patch: threading test reactivation
  format-patch: track several references
  format-patch: thread as reply to cover letter even with in-reply-to
  format-patch: support deep threading
