Users may be authoring and committing their commits under the same
e-mail address they use to send their patches from, in which case
they shouldn't need to use the in-body From: line in their outgoing
e-mails.  At the receiving end, "git am" will use the address on the
"From:" header of the incoming e-mail and all should be well.

Some mailing lists, however, mangle the From: address from what the
original sender had; in such an unfortunate situation, the user may
want to add the in-body "From:" header even for their own patch.

The two-patch series may help such users.

 * The first one introduces a small helper to separate the logic
   that decides when in-body From: is used.

 * The second one adds a minimum support with a new test.

Junio C Hamano (2):
  pretty: separate out the logic to decide the use of in-body from
  format-patch: allow forcing the use of in-body From: header
