The behavior for git format-patch is to ignore merge commits, producing an empty patch. The code does not allow the user to change this behavior. This patch changes that behavior by allowing the user to specify -c or -m at the command line to produce a patch for a merge commit. Signed-off-by: Nathan W. Panike <nathan.panike@xxxxxxxxx> --- Add Sign off. This seems to solve my problem, but maybe my workflow is sufficiently different that it is a problem no one else has. Maybe someone can point me in a direction that solves problems more users have.
