Correct.  For the purpose of that quoted commit, giving "--binary"
should be sufficient.  It would avoid "Binary files differ" that is
useless in the context of format-patch, and when a binary patch is
given, it will automatically get the full length blob object name,
without --full-index.

Thanks.
