I also think it would be good if patches extracted from git

signed-off-by: Name <redacted>

commit: sha1 -> sha1
tree: sha1 -> sha1

The reason for including the commits is to allow the maintainer to
track exactly where the a given rev of a patch was from. The reason
for including the treeids is to allow appliers to verify that the
patch has produced the same result as the patch submitter.

See my (long) reply to Daniel. A StGIT patch is a collection of git
commits, mixed in time with commits for other patches. There might not
be a single author. For example, I create a patch called
'stabilisation' where I gather different git changesets from different
authors and commit them one by one.

I think what you mean is similar to the cg-mkpatch command. The 'stg
export' is totally different. While it might be possible to generate a
set of changesets for a StGIT patch, this is not intended for the near
future.
