In this case you are not usinging short and common name like "master" or "HEAD" but 40-letter-long hex string, so it is much less likely to get hit by the "ambiguous rev vs file" rule, but even then it is still possible that a work tree happens to have a file with the same name. > @@ -0,0 +1,101 @@ > +$ git format-patch --stdout --cover-letter -n initial..master^ > +From 9a6d4949b6b76956d9d5e26f2791ec2ceff5fdc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > +From: C O Mitter <committer@xxxxxxxxxxx> > +Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:05:00 +0000 > +Subject: [DIFFERENT_PREFIX 0/2] *** SUBJECT HERE *** > + > + > +*** BLURB HERE *** > + > +A U Thor (2): > + Second > + Third > + This probably falls within the "personal taste" category, but I'd rather not to see two extra blank lines between Subject: and BLURB HERE. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
