Hi,

I use `git format-patch master..myBranch` quite a bit to send patches to other developers. I also add notes to the commits so that I e.g. remember which patches were emailed to whom. `git log` has an option to automatically include the notes in the output. However, I can't find such an option for `git format-patch`. Am I missing something?

Another nice option would to to somehow include the branch name in the resulting output. Right now I use either notes or abuse the `--subject` option for this.

</nk>
P.S.: Today I'm sad and proud to say "Ich bin ein Berliner!" --nk
