Why doesn't this command seem to be giving me any file or standard
output?

<code>git format-patch master</code>

All I can do is count how many commits I'm ahead of master, and do

<code>git format-patch -3</code>

where 3 is the number of commits ahead.

But this means I can't just send a patch file.  I have to send multiple
patch files in an archive, and then I have to tell some guy to run the
"git-am" command on three files and hope it works.  (I've never applied
one of these patches, I've only emailed them.)

My friend on a related, very old, popular, de-facto standard distro
says git should be able to do "git format-patch master".  Is this an
issue with Trisquel's version of git? :(
