format.attach::
	Enable multipart/mixed attachments as the default for
	'format-patch'.  The value can also be a double quoted string
	which will enable attachments as the default and set the
	value as the boundary.  See the --attach option in
	linkgit:git-format-patch[1].  To countermand an earlier
	value, set it to an empty string.

format.from::
	Provides the default value for the `--from` option to format-patch.
	Accepts a boolean value, or a name and email address.  If false,
	format-patch defaults to `--no-from`, using commit authors directly in
	the "From:" field of patch mails.  If true, format-patch defaults to
	`--from`, using your committer identity in the "From:" field of patch
	mails and including a "From:" field in the body of the patch mail if
	different.  If set to a non-boolean value, format-patch uses that
	value instead of your committer identity.  Defaults to false.

format.forceInBodyFrom::
	Provides the default value for the `--[no-]force-in-body-from`
	option to format-patch.  Defaults to false.

format.numbered::
	A boolean which can enable or disable sequence numbers in patch
	subjects.  It defaults to "auto" which enables it only if there
	is more than one patch.  It can be enabled or disabled for all
	messages by setting it to "true" or "false".  See --numbered
	option in linkgit:git-format-patch[1].

format.headers::
	Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
	by mail.  See linkgit:git-format-patch[1].

format.to::
format.cc::
	Additional recipients to include in a patch to be submitted
	by mail.  See the --to and --cc options in
	linkgit:git-format-patch[1].

format.subjectPrefix::
	The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
	subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.

format.coverFromDescription::
	The default mode for format-patch to determine which parts of
	the cover letter will be populated using the branch's
	description. See the `--cover-from-description` option in
	linkgit:git-format-patch[1].

format.signature::
	The default for format-patch is to output a signature containing
	the Git version number. Use this variable to change that default.
	Set this variable to the empty string ("") to suppress
	signature generation.

format.signatureFile::
	Works just like format.signature except the contents of the
	file specified by this variable will be used as the signature.

format.suffix::
	The default for format-patch is to output files with the suffix
	`.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
	include the dot if you want it).

format.encodeEmailHeaders::
	Encode email headers that have non-ASCII characters with
	"Q-encoding" (described in RFC 2047) for email transmission.
	Defaults to true.

format.pretty::
	The default pretty format for log/show/whatchanged command.
	See linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1],
	linkgit:git-whatchanged[1].

format.thread::
	The default threading style for 'git format-patch'.  Can be
	a boolean value, or `shallow` or `deep`.  `shallow` threading
