From e6ff0f42bb0c63515c8489c1992f37d1d1e8b2f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Loeliger Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 15:06:53 -0500 Subject: Add the --numbered-files option to git-format-patch. With this option, git-format-patch will generate simple numbered files as output instead of the default using with the first commit line appended. This simplifies the ability to generate an MH-style drafts folder with each message to be sent.
