http://schacon.github.com/git/git-rev-list.html -n number It means only one commit. But you would have more success using gitrevisions(7). In order to see which commits will be selected, you can try 'git log': % git log master..my_branch % git format-patch master..my_branch But if you are already in 'my_branch', this is the same: % git format-patch master This is really very basic stuff covered in countless online tutorials, including git's official one: http://schacon.github.com/git/gittutorial.html And there are even examples in the documentation of 'git format-patch': http://schacon.github.com/git/git-format-patch.html Plus, you don't have to fire format-patch separately: % git send-email --to libav-devel --cover-letter --annotate master -- Felipe Contreras _______________________________________________ libav-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-devel
