With this option, git-format-patch will generate simple
numbered files as output instead of the default using
with the first commit line appended.
This simplifies the ability to generate an MH-style
drafts folder with each message to be sent.
I'll take the patch but wouldn't something like:
git-format-patch --stdout $args |
FILENO=7 formail -s sh -c 'cat >.junk/$FILENO'
be equivalent to
git-format-patch -o .junk/ --numbered-files --start-number=7 $args
and more flexible?
