Hmm, let's say you'd like to view the last 10 commits in a specialized program that divides them up and provides good search capabilities: mutt -f <(git format-patch --stdout -10) one shortcoming is that the whole git format-patch process must finish before mutt will begin showing the mailbox .. otherwise, this seems pretty awesome.
