If you always want it, try: git config --global diff.renames copies format-patch already defaults to "--stat --summary -p" if you give it no format options. The default stat is 80, I believe; for format-patch it should probably be bumped to 72 anyway. format-patch will also default to ..HEAD if just given HEAD^. So you should be able to do: git format-patch --thread -n HEAD^ For your send-email invocation, doing: git config --global sendemail.suppressfrom true git config --global sendemail.chainreplyto false # the --global makes the others user-wide; this # one should just be specific to your git repo git config sendemail.to git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx should allow: git sendemail --compose 00* though if you are just sending a single patch, it is common to put the cover letter material (if it is short) after the '---' but before the diffstat.
