Re: git format-patch --break-rewrites broken in 2.9.3

Hi Olaf,

This command used to create a diff which can be consumed by patch. But
at least with 2.9.3 it just gives a rename output:

 git format-patch \
        --no-signature \
        --stdout \
        --break-rewrites \
        --keep-subject \

What must be done now to get a usable patch?

Maybe --no-renames? BTW this behavior was not introduced in 2.9.3, but in
2.9.0:
