I do not mind doing it myself, but I am already in today's
integration cycle (which will merge a handful of topics to

Sorry, I should have clarified that further.  I meant that the
additional tests looked good to me.

As it turns out, the patch I used to test this on happened to have a
blank line as the last line of context before the base-commit line, so
I'd overlooked this in the non-MIME case.  The issue you mentioned does
apply to both the MIME and non-MIME cases, and I agree that it needs
fixing.  It doesn't seem like a functional issue, but aesthetically it
doesn't look good.

Do you plan to make that change to print an additional blank line
(likely inside print_bases), or should I?

Thanks.

Do you mean that the base information that appears immediately after
the patch text (either for MIME case or plain-text) does not bother
you, though?

So here is a suggested replacement.  I notice that in the MIME case,
we do not leave any blank line between the last line of the patch
and the baseinfo, which makes it look a bit strange, e.g. output of
"format-patch --attach=mimemime -1" may end like this:

We may want to tweak it a bit further.

Subject: [PATCH] format-patch: show base info before email signature

Any text below the "-- " for the email signature gets treated as part of
the signature, and many mail clients will trim it from the quoted text
for a reply.  Move it above the signature, so people can reply to it
more easily.

Similarly, when producing the patch as a MIME attachment, the
original code placed the base info after the attached part, which
would be discarded.  Move the base info to the end of the part,
still inside the part boundary.

Add tests for the exact format of the email signature, and add tests
to ensure that the base info appears before the email signature when
producing a plain-text output, and that it appears before the part
boundary when producing a MIME attachment.

Hmm. It looks correct to me, too; we stick it just after the patch, so
with "--attach" it is part of the text/x-patch, which is reasonable.

But looking at the results of "--attach" from _before_ your patch, it
looks totally broken. The "base" information comes _after the final
delimiter of the multipart/mixed. Most mailers would just throw it away
when decoding the multipart, I think.

So this is actually fixing a bug, and you could probably add a test
(though I am not sure we have anything in git that actually parses
multipart messages _or_ that carefully consumes the base-commit info, so
it might be hard to test in practice).

One of the git tests already did that.  I just modified that test to
test the exact signature format and that it appears at the end, rather
than just grepping to check that the signature string appears somewhere.
Then when doing so, I realized that I should check the default case too
(at which point that test change probably should have gone in a separate
patch).

If any other change ends up being necessary, I'll split the patch in v2.

Other than that I'd probably retitle it, your problem description
looks perfect.  I am still not sure if the code does a reasonable
thing in MIME case, though.

Hmph.  I would actually have expected that you would force a fixed
and an easily noticeable string via format.signature for the purpose
of the test, but I guess this test covers a lot more than what the
purpose of the main part of the patch does (i.e. enforces that the
default signature must be made from the version string of Git).  It
is not a bad thing to test, but it probably does not belong to this
change.  If you _were_ to split the patch in two, that is where I
probably would split, i.e. "we didn't test what the default signature
looks like, or we didn't make sure --signature option overrides the
default signature, so let's test it" as the preliminary preparation,
followed by "having base info after sig is inconvenient, let's move
it and make sure base info stays before sig with additional test" as
the second (and primary) patch.

But a single patch is fine.

Thanks.


[PATCH] Move format-patch base commit and prerequisites before email signature

2016-09-07 Thread Josh Triplett
Any text below the "-- " for the email signature gets treated as part of
the signature, and many mail clients will trim it from the quoted text
for a reply.  Move it above the signature, so people can reply to it
more easily.

Add tests for the exact format of the email signature, and add tests to
ensure the email signature appears last.

(Patch by Junio Hamano; tests by Josh Triplett.)

Does the above seem reasonable, for a patch that incorporates the
proposed patch from Message-Id
xmqqh99rpud4@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com and adds tests?
Alternatively, feel free to split this patch into two, the first with
you as the author.  I can confirm that the code change doesn't break any
existing tests; only the new tests added here check for it.  So a
two-patch series wouldn't result in any breakage after the first patch.
