Is this a typo? I expected patches to contain tags, not other patches.
What you want is probably a bundle. You don't want a collection of diffs with comments on them, but you want a collection to reacreate the history the other side has.
I didn't know about bundles but do now. However "git bundle --help" tells me "No manual entry for git-bundle" despite git-bundle.html being in the Documentation directory. I'm trying to work out if I want to use git to manage a software distribution problem. I distribute release v1.0 to people then later I want to email them a patch to take them from v1.0 to v1.1. I can probably live without the tags, but am just surprised that patches don't send them. Cheers, Geoff
