Subject: [PATCH] format-patch: add arbitrary email headers

From: Michael Hendricks <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:58:32 -0600

format-patch supports the format.headers configuration for adding
arbitrary email headers to the patches it outputs.  This patch adds
support for a --header argument which makes the same feature available
from the command line.  This is useful when the content of custom
email headers must change from branch to branch.

This patch has been sponsored by Grant Street Group
