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 \

        --keep-subject \

What must be done now to get a usable patch?

As an aside, the range can be shortened to

95fa0405c5991726e06c08ffcd8ff872f7fb4f2d^!

It's something I picked up when doing the doc update on 'specifying
