It will, but you shouldn't need to - with git, you generally work in a
topic branch created from the branch you want to base your changes on.

There is a good explanation here:
https://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/wiki/Topic-Branches

The key difference between our workflow and his is that we use GitHub
pull requests rather than patches when the changes come back.

So, where he has "git format-patch", we would have you push to your
own repository, then use GitHub to send a pull request.

We have some more documentation on the whole process over at
