Exactly, thus git format-patch. No, git send-mail accepts multiple inputs -- and it is not guaranteed that the input is from format-patch in any shape or form. From the man page: There are two formats accepted for patch files: 1. mbox format files This is what git-format-patch(1) generates. Most headers and MIME formatting are ignored. 2. The original format used by Greg Kroah-Hartman's send_lots_of_email.pl script This format expects the first line of the file to contain the "Cc:" value and the "Subject:" of the message as the second line.
