Hi. I'm not familiar with the git source code, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I'm trying to determine the algorithm that git-format-patch uses to determine the name of the patch file it creates (e.g. "0001-this-is-my-patch-without-spaces-and-trunca.patch") I'm looking at the function cmd_format_patch(), and I just don't see where it creates any files. Can someone show me where this code is? The reason I ask is that I'm writing a script which calls git-format-patch to create some patches for post-processing. So I need the name of the file that git-format-patch creates so that I can open it and examine it. I'd liked to see if there's a way to get the name of the patch without actually creating the file. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
