Hi Xiaolong,

When you next re-roll your 'xy/format-patch-base' branch could you
please squash this (or something like it) into the relevant patch.
(commit 50ff6afd, "format-patch: add '--base' option to record base
tree info", 31-03-2016).

The pu branch, for me, fails a shed load of tests in the following:

    t3301-notes.sh
    t3901-i18n-patch.sh
    t4014-format-patch.sh
    t4021-format-patch-numbered.sh
    t4028-format-patch-mime-headers.sh
    t4030-diff-textconv.sh
    t4036-format-patch-signer-mime.sh
    t4052-stat-output.sh
    t4122-apply-symlink-inside.sh
    t4150-am.sh
    t4151-am-abort.sh
    t4152-am-subjects.sh
    t4255-am-submodule.sh
    t7400-submodule-basic.sh
    t7512-status-help.sh
    t9001-send-email.sh

Looking at the first failure, the cause was a segfault while running
git-format-patch. A quick trip to the debugger showed that the segfault
was in print_bases(). Furthermore, the contents of the bases structure
passed in looked very dodgy (bases->nr_patch_id was 32767 and bases->patch_id[0]
was 0xc). Indeed, it looked like it had not been initialized ...

[NOTE: t6038-merge-text-auto.sh also fails for me, but it has nothing
to do with your patch series. ;-)]

This patch was just a quick fix, you may chose a different approach to
fix the problem (eg don't call print_bases() unconditionally ...).

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
