The reason I ask is that I'm writing a script which calls git-format-patch to create some patches for post-processing. So I need the name of the file that git-format-patch creates so that I can open it and examine it. I'd liked to see if there's a way to get the name of the patch without actually creating the file.It tells you the names on stdout.
Is there a way for it to tell me the name on stdout *without* actually creating the patch? -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
