Hi All,
I use git quite a bit to track my changes and then use
git-format-patch to generate patches to send on to others. For the
most part, it works great but I find myself constantly doing:
mv xxxx-foo.txt xxxx-foo.patch
Could we add an option to git-format-patch to use ".patch" as the file
suffix instead of ".txt"? Something like the below?
