Grumble. I updated git last night and this change just bit me. Grumble. Grumble. It is probably a good change, but it was unexpected. Grumble. Grumble. Grumble.
The change is a year old, and mentioned in the release notes from 1.6.1. If you're updating from old versions of git, it can be extremely useful to read the release notes as we do periodically have changes like this. (In the git repository, they can be found as Documentation/RelNotes-*.txt)
If you wish to go back to the old default for a single project, use `git config format.numbered false`. If you use the --global flag, it will set it for you all the time. For a single set of unrelated patches being output at once, use the --no-numbered (short: -N) option to format-patch.
Sorry it caught you unawares. Having it auto-number seemed like the most useful default.
