Isn't the point of the exercise to come up with something like:
frotz-0001-first-patch-in-frotz-topic.patch
frotz-0002-second-patch-in-frotz-topic.patch
frotz-0003-third-patch-in-frotz-topic.patch
nitfol-0001-first-patch-in-nitfol-topic.patch
nitfol-0002-second-patch-in-nitfol-topic.patch
with two invocations of format-patch, and when they are dropped in the
same directory, the patches from the same series clump together?
I personally do not think this is worth the additional code (you can
easily run with --outdir=frotz and then with --outdir=nitfol and obtain
frotz/000?-*.patch and nitfol/000?-*.patch to get the same clumping) but
if the convention is to use dash instead of slash, the patch will save one
step from users.
