git format-patch origin/next.. works already. I'm used to the asymetric
git format-patch origin/next syntax, and I would be sorry if it
disappeared though, and I see no really good reason to get rid of it.

The reason why it annoys me is because I often what to cherry-pick a
single patch to send to someone, and so while "git show 332d2e78"
shows me the patch, but if I want to use git-send-email for that
particular patch, "git format-patch 332d2e78" doesn't DTRT.  I have to
type "git format-patch 332d2e78^..332d2e78" instead.

try:

	git show --pretty=email 332d2e78
