From 2c642ed8668745271a714f0a672dbfcd6b0a6fa8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ramkumar Ramachandra Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2010 01:58:16 +0530 Subject: format-patch: Don't go over merge commits If the topmost three commits in a branch were merge commits, 'git format-patch -3' used to output nothing. Since Git can't prepare patches out of merge commits anyway, don't go over them in the first place. 'git format-patch -3' now prepares three patches from the topmost three commits without counting merge commits. Also add a corresponding test in t4014-format-patch and update documentation.
