git-range-diff documentations says that the three-argument form:
git range-diff <base> <rev1> <rev2>
is equivalent to passing two ranges:
git range-diff <base>..<rev1> <base>..<rev2>
git-format-patch synopsis shows:
git format-patch --range-diff=<previous> <rev-range>
where <rev-range> is the range of commits to format, and <previous>
can be a range specifying the previous version, so:
git format-patch --range-diff=<base>..<rev1> <base>..<rev2>
should do what you ask.
However, since the two versions in your example both derive from
origin/master, you should be able to get by with the simpler:
git format-patch --range-diff=<rev1> <base>..<rev2>
which, if you were running git-range-diff manually, would be the equivalent of:
git range-diff <rev1>...<rev2>
for which the range-diff machinery figures out the common base
(origin/master) automatically.
