Revert "patman: use -D option for git format-patch"
This reverts commit 19b4a3369876f9215e2b861f211e8df1a75e26ca.
Since that commit, patman generates useless patches for file removal;
"git format -D" prints only the header but not the diff when deleting
files, and "git am" always refuses such patches.
The following is the quotation from "man git-format-patch":
-D, --irreversible-delete
Omit the preimage for deletes, i.e. print only the header but
not the diff between the preimage and /dev/null. The resulting
patch is not meant to be applied with patch nor git apply; this
is solely for people who want to just concentrate on reviewing
the text after the change. In addition, the output obviously
lack enough information to apply such a patch in reverse, even
manually, hence the name of the option.
