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 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.

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