Unless I rerun with same vX :(
Would it make sense for it to check for vX existance and fail?
Same without -vX, when 000X exists ...
Could be an option.

grep serves just as well but
I still need to copy it to the next line manually...
I vaguely remember there was some way to say
"head of the remote I am tracking" - but I could not find it.
Where are all the tricks like foo^{} documented?
I tried fgrep '{}' Documentation/*txt and it only returned
git-show-ref.txt which isn't really informative ...
Additionally, or alternatively, would it make sense for git format-patch
to format the diff against the tracking branch by default?

I still need to copy subject, Cc list and blurb to the next line manually.
Now that there's a concept of revisions,
maybe git format-patch -v4 could copy the text
and subject from v3?
