From 31e2617a5f8fe1c114e72f058d1c035bbf77cffe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sunshine Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2018 05:57:13 -0400 Subject: format-patch: add --range-diff option to embed diff in cover letter When submitting a revised version of a patch series, it can be helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous attempt in the form of a range-diff, however, doing so involves manually copy/pasting the diff into the cover letter. Add a --range-diff option to automate this process. The argument to --range-diff specifies the tip of the previous attempt against which to generate the range-diff. For example: git format-patch --cover-letter --range-diff=v1 -3 v2 (At this stage, the previous attempt and the patch series being formatted must share a common base, however, a subsequent enhancement will make it possible to specify an explicit revision range for the previous attempt.)
