Merge branch 'jk/format-patch-from'

"git format-patch" learned "--from[=whom]" option, which sets the
"From: " header to the specified person (or the person who runs the
command, if "=whom" part is missing) and move the original author
information to an in-body From: header as necessary.

* jk/format-patch-from:
  teach format-patch to place other authors into in-body "From"
  pretty.c: drop const-ness from pretty_print_context

 	The negated form `--no-cc` discards all `Cc:` headers added so
 	far (from config or command line).
 
+--from::
+--from=<ident>::
+	Use `ident` in the `From:` header of each commit email. If the
+	author ident of the commit is not textually identical to the
+	provided `ident`, place a `From:` header in the body of the
+	message with the original author. If no `ident` is given, use
+	the committer ident.
++
+Note that this option is only useful if you are actually sending the
+emails and want to identify yourself as the sender, but retain the
+original author (and `git am` will correctly pick up the in-body
+header). Note also that `git send-email` already handles this
+transformation for you, and this option should not be used if you are
+feeding the result to `git send-email`.
+
 --add-header=<header>::
 	Add an arbitrary header to the email headers.  This is in addition
 	to any configured headers, and may be used multiple times.
