How to specify 'git send-email' to send mail on a specific patch?

git-send-email takes arguments specifying the patches to send. For example,

git send-email HEAD^

will create a patch for the last commit on your current branch. Similarly if you are formatting patches first with git-am, you can specify only the single patch file you want to send.

For more information on how to specify revisions, see man git-rev-list. The common methods you'll probably care about:

• <commit1>..<commit2> means everything after up to
• <commit>^ means the commit before <commit>
• <commit>~5 means the commit five commits before <commit>
