Yep, after more than a year, I simply cannot get used to it... http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=113259043217761&w=2 And as I've seen, other people brought that up too. My brain simply says: `` "git-format-patch" is singular and so the SHA-1 specified on the command line should generate a _single_ patch.'' Yeah, but no. So I still make the mistake of: # git-rev-list --no-merges --pretty=one-line HEAD -- <somepath> I select a commit # git-format-patch -o /tmp/ <commit> ... Oh, f@#$! <CTRL-C> # git-format-patch -o /tmp/ <commit>^..<commit> Is there a chance to make "git-format-patch" output a single patch? of that commit only? Luben P.S. And let "git-format-patches" go wild with the ideologies... Sorry, needed to vent as I made this mistake twice already today... - 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
