Ok, I see. I (re)used the 'git format-patch' command from previous run, and this time it was (without the line-breaks): git format-patch --stat --patch-with-raw -1 --signoff -M -C --summary --full-index --subject-prefix="PATCH" --output-directory ../diff_lib_c_symcache_cleanup_v1/ Regarding the '--summary' I think it is a nice thing to do (so I try to always use it), and the '--full-index' is such that the git software have a less chance of producing a collision. -- kjetil -- 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
