If a user wishes to keep track of whom to Cc: on individual patchsets,
they must manually keep track of each recipient and fill it in with the
`--cc` option on git-format-patch each time. However, on the Git mailing
list, Cc:'s are typically never dropped. As a result, it would be nice
to have a method to keep track of recipients on a per-branch basis.

Currently, git-format-patch gets its To: headers from the `--to` options
and the `format.to` config variable. The Cc: header is derived
similarly.

In addition to the above, read To: and Cc: headers from
`format.<branch-name>.to` and `format.<branch-name>.cc` so that users
can have branch-specific configuration options.
