[PATCH] rebase-am: fix regression with new cover-letter config

[Felipe Contreras]

If you have a cover-letter configuration set to anything other than
'false', 'git format-patch' might generate a cover letter, and 'git am'
doesn't seem to like that.

Ideally 'git am' should skip the cover-letter, but for now lets just fix
the regression.

This is a follow-up to the fc/send-email-annotate topic, right?

You are mean to say "fix regression", which gave me a small heart
attack ;-).  I was worried if we had already merged it to 'next'.

As I already wrote in the recent "What's cooking", the series looks
good to me.  I am inclined to say that we should merge it (together
with this update) to 'next'.

Thanks for catching this before breaking the real world users.

Yeah, after thinking about it, it's not even really a regression,
because people don't have format.coverletter=auto in their configs
(yet), so the bug can't can possibly affect them.

I'm running 'next' as you suggested we should do, along with all my
patches, so that helps :)

Cheers.

Here is what I tentatively queued.

    rebase-am: explicitly disable cover-letter
    
    If the user has a cover-letter configuration set to anything
    other than 'false', 'git format-patch' may generate a cover
    letter, which has no place in "format-patch | am" pipeline.
    
    The internal invocatoin of format-patch must explicitly override
    the configuration from the command line, just like --src-prefix
    and other options already do.
