Hi,

I have a subdirectory in my top-level directory, which I merged using subtree strategy. I want to send my patches upstream, so I did something like: git format-patch -o patches -n --relative=click click/master myclick

This produced a bunch of files in patches directory, most of which are empty. When I tried this --stdout, I had something like this: [PATCH 8725/8846] [PATCH 8726/8846] [PATCH 8750/8846] .. [PATCH 8845/8846]

So, it seems that format-patch was counting all patches, but only printing the interesting ones.

I'm running git 1.6.0.1 on FreeBSD7/amd64.
PS. Please CC me, since I'm not on the list.

Cheers, Nikola
