Running `git` commands inside command substitutions like
test "$(git rev-parse A)" = "$(git rev-parse B)"
can hide failures from the `git` invocations and provide little
diagnostic information when `test` fails.
Use `test_cmp` when comparing against a stored expected value so
mismatches show both expected and actual output. Use `test_cmp_rev`
when comparing two revisions. These helpers produce clearer failure
output, making it easier to understand what went wrong.

related configuration variable "format.commitListFormat".

Using "--cover-letter" we can tell format-patch to generate a cover
letter, in this cover letter there's a list of commits included in the
patch series and the format is specified by the "--cover-letter-format"
option. Would be useful if this format could be configured from the
config file instead of always needing to pass it from the command line.
Teach format-patch how to read the format spec for the cover letter from
the config files. The variable it should look for is called
format.commitListFormat.
Possible values:
- commitListFormat is set but no string is passed: it will default to
"[%(count)/%(total)] %s"
- if a string is passed: will use it as a format spec. Note that this
is either "shortlog" or a format spec prefixed by "log:"
e.g."log:%s (%an)"
- if commitListFormat is not set: it will default to the shortlog
format.

Often when sending patch series there's a need to clarify to the
reviewer what's the purpose of said series, since it might be difficult
to understand it from reading the commits messages one by one.
"git format-patch" provides the useful "--cover-letter" flag to declare
if we want it to generate a template for us to use. By default it will
generate a "git shortlog" of the changes, which developers find less
useful than they'd like, mainly because the shortlog groups commits by
author, and gives no obvious chronological order.
Give format-patch the ability to specify an alternative format spec
through the "--cover-letter-format" option. This option either takes
"shortlog", which is the current format, or a format spec prefixed with
"log:".
Example:
git format-patch --cover-letter \
--cover-letter-format="log:[%(count)/%(total)] %s (%an)" HEAD~3
[1/3] this is a commit summary (Mirko Faina)
[2/3] this is another commit summary (Mirko Faina)

As of now format-patch allows generation of a template cover letter for
patch series through "--cover-letter".

in preparation to other patches where we enable the user to format the
commit list using thier own format string.

In many commands we can customize the output through the "--format" or
the "--pretty" options. This patch adds two new placeholders used mainly
when there's a range of commits that we want to show.
Currently these two placeholders are not usable as they're coupled with
the rev_info->nr and rev_info->total fields, fields that are used only
by the format-patch numbered email subjects.
Teach repo_format_commit_message() the %(count) and %(total)
placeholders.

Before submitting patches on the mailing list, it is often a good idea
to check for previous related discussions or if similar work is already
in progress. This enables better coordination amongst contributors and
could avoid duplicating work.
Additionally, it is often recommended to give reviewers some time to
reply to a patch series before sending new versions. This helps collect
broader feedback and reduces unnecessary churn from rapid rerolls.
Document this guidance in "Documentation/SubmittingPatches" accordingly.
