format-patch is designed to get a patch to send to upstream, and
does not handle the root commit. In your two revisions
repository, you could do something like this:
$ git diff-tree -p --root master~1
Or more in general:
$ git rev-list master |
git diff-tree --stdin --root --pretty=fuller -p
BTW, I've been meaning to add --pretty=patch to give
format-patch compatible output to diff-tree, but haven't got
around to actually do it. Another thing I've been meaning to do
is "git log --diff" which is more or less "git whatchanged".
