git-show vs git-log (or: git show vs git log)

'git show' is quite sufficient, as long as I can pipe its output into 
patch(1) or write it to a foo.patch file, which appears to be the 
case.

the only time git show is not sufficient for me in practice, the 
following one is:

  git log --pretty=email -p -1

that's when i want to do precise import/export of patches from/to email. 
(but it's rare)

git show --pretty=email
