git format-patch < everything since last svn rebase >

I'm trying to mash all my changes sin开发者_开发知识库ce I last pushed to the svn server into one big patch that I can email to my coworker for review. Can I do this with git format-patch ?

You could use git format-patch origin/master to get all the patches since your current branch forked from the server. (The HEAD is assumed as the final argument in the command, so you are getting origin/master..HEAD.)

However, as VonC hints at, that could potentially create a lot of files: one .patch file for every commit you made! If you want just a single big patch file, the git-diff syntax he mentions should to the trick. (git diff origin/master.. > bigpatch.patch would give you all the changes since the common ancestor of your HEAD and the server.)

For dealing with one file, git diff is more appropriate (for patches of text files)

git diff R1..R2 > patchR1R2.diff
