Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to generate a file that contains the git history and changes from one revision to another, such that when the file is applied to a different tree starting at the same ancestor, the resulting tree is identical. E.g. git <whatever> v4.2-rc3..master would produce this file, and then: git <apply whatever> <file> run on a tree which is currently at 4.2-rc3 would result in an identical HEAD. Originally I thought git-format-patch would be sufficient, however it does not contain merge commits and the resulting commit shas seem like they would be inaccurate. Is there a way to do this? I realize one could just git fetch/pull from tree A to tree B, but the usecase here is more complicated.
