If one is really concerned about consistency of rev-list options, we could use ',' or something to separate separate lists of commits, e.g. git format-patch a..b , c..d , e..f or git format-patch a..b --then c..d --then e..f What do you think about the idea? -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
