git-format-patch is rather broken on pu right now (pre these patches).
In my test git repo, git-format-patch.sh called with 2 parameters,
like
git-format-patch <remotehead> <myhead>
when HEAD != myhead does the right thing, but git format-patch
doesn't, it seems to be messing up and not finding the merge base
correctly:
0001-Initial-revision-of-git-the-information-manager-from-hell.txt
And it errors out with ignore-if-in-upstream:
$ ./git format-patch --ignore-if-in-upstream -o .patches origin master
fatal: Not a range.
I'll retest later with these patches and post again.
