format-patch let -k override a config-specified format.numbered

meyering · gitster · commit ca6b91d29b7e · 2009-05-09T08:10:15.000-07:00
Let a command-line --keep-subject (-k) override a config-specified
format.numbered (--numbered (-n)), rather than provoking the
"-n and -k are mutually exclusive" failure.
* t4021-format-patch-numbered.sh: Test for the above
