The output of commitdiff_plain is not intended for git-am:
* when given a range of commits, commitdiff_plain publishes a single
patch with the message from the first commit, instead of a patchset
* the hand-built email format replicates the commit summary both as
email subject and as first line of the email itself, resulting in
a duplication if the output is used with git-am.
We thus create a new view that can be fed to git-am directly, allowing patch exchange via gitweb. The new view exposes the output of git format-patch directly, limiting it to a single patch in the case of a single commit.
A configurable upper limit defaulting to 16 is imposed on the number of commits which will be included in a patchset, to prevent DoS attacks on the server. Setting the limit to 0 will disable the patch view, setting it to a negative number will remove the limit.
