Rework this patch to try to handle the case where one does
git format-patch -n ...
and n is a number larger than 1. Currently, the command
git format-patch -1 e83c5163316f89bfbde
in the git repository creates an empty file. Instead, one is
forced to do
git format-patch -1 --root e83c5163316f89bfbde
This seems arbitrary. This patch fixes this case, so that
git format-patch -1 e83c5163316f89bfbde
will produce an actual patch.
