Re: [PATCH/POLL] git-format-patch: the default suffix is now .patch, not .txt

Also, how many mail clients know that .patch is actually
a text and not application/binary? It'll make patch
reviewing harder for some (not sure if I'd like a review
of such a person, though).

OTOH such mail clients usually also think they can freely reformat
text files, leading to unusable patches.  A .patch extension would
help avoid that type of breakage, so I think it's a good idea.
