Hi Guix,

I have some commits on my local guix repo like this:

(master) HEAD -> A -> B -> C

When I do `git format-patch -3 --base=auto` I get prerequisite patch
ids in some of the patches. But I want to each patch to depend only on
HEAD. In other words I want to export patches like so:

HEAD -> A
HEAD -> B
HEAD -> C

How do I do this?

`git-format-patch --base` doesn't support lying about the state by
leaving out the prerequisite patch IDs, as far as I know.  If you have a
string of commits that you want to post as single patches where only
base-commit is listed, the approach would be to split each of those off
into separate, independent branches on top of the base commit.

             a
            /
    base ----- b
            \
             c
