The test prepares a simple commit with HT on its log message lines,
and makes sure that
- formats that should or should not expand tabs by default do or do
not expand tabs respectively,
- with explicit --expand-tabs=<N> and short-hands --expand-tabs
(equivalent to --expand-tabs=8) and --no-expand-tabs (equivalent
to --expand-tabs=0) before or after the explicit --pretty=$fmt,
the tabs are expanded (or not expanded) accordingly.
The tests use the second line of the log message for formats other
than --pretty=short, primarily because the first line of the email
format is handled specially to add the [PATCH] prefix, etc. in a
separate codepath (--pretty=short uses the first line because there
is no other line to test).
