Ok, so then when I want to extract a single commit into a patch in a patch format, I loosely do (scripted):

  git-rev-list --pretty=raw --max-count=1 <commit-ish>

Then I record the parent <parent> of the commit-ish and do:

  git-format-patch [output options] <parent>..<commit-ish>

Which gives me the commit with id <commit-ish> as a formatted patch.

Is there an alernative to this, as opposed to the two step procedure above?
