Hi Robert.
Just as a quick test I branched 10 commits back in origin/master
with
git checkout -b foo origin/master~10
and then created a couple of throw-away commits for format-patch to play
with (by editing and committing lisp/ChangeLog)
My history now looks something like this:
o -- o -- B -- o -- o -- o -- ... -- o -- o -- A origin/master
\
X -- Y foo
>From anywhere in the history I can do
git format-patch origin/master..foo
and I get only the X and Y commits created as patches. You can
experiment with the git log command instead of format-patch to show the
commits you get. Basically it lists the commits not in origin/master on
the foo branch.
If you happen to be at foo (commit Y) you can omit the second branch
name since HEAD is assumed so origin/master..foo is the same as
origin/master..
HTH,
Bernt
