[PATCH v3] format-patch --signature-file <file>

[Jeremiah Mahler <jmmahler@gmail.com>]

Added feature that allows a signature file to be used with format-patch.

  $ git format-patch --signature-file ~/.signature -1

Now signatures with newlines and other special characters can be
easily included.
