Hi!

Just a quick question from a git rookie:

Side note: above command doesn't work here (Fedora 11, git version 1.6.2.2):

$ git diff --stat -M 'stable..HEAD^'
fatal: ambiguous argument 'stable..HEAD^': unknown revision or path not
in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions

This command OTOH...
$ git diff --stat -M 'origin/stable..origin/HEAD^'
...seems to work just fine and gives the result your posted:

I just mention it because it might be relevant. The real reason why I
write this mail is this:

Is it possible somehow to export the individual patches that are
currently in linux-next? I tried

 git format-patch -M -o ../tmp 'origin/stable..origin/HEAD^'

but that resulted in 3269 files with commits/patches that sum up to
38 MByte. Some of those patches (seems 1919 alone from the KVM tree...)
are quite old. The first one for example is
0001-KVM-mmu-add-missing-dirty-page-tracking-cases.patch :

It afaics was merged in linus tree ages ago:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bf3f8e86c2e22b9bd1375be1bbbd67384dba4342

I suspect I do something wrong, but I could not find what exactly what
I'm doing wrong... Could anybody give me some insight/help? tia!
