Do we have format.<something> configuration for these things? What I am trying to get at is if these are better structured similar to http options where http.<something> supplies the overall default for <something>, while http.<destination>.<something> gives a more destination site specific override of that default. I.e. format.cc is used as fallback, while format.<branch>.cc is used to override. In any case, it smells to me that branch.<branch>.cc does not hint strongly enough that they are meant to affect format-patch.
