+* Make 'format-patch' take revision limiters similar to
+  rev-list.  For example:
+
+               A                  C
+       ....---x---o---o---x---o---o
+                          /
+                         /
+                        /
+       ....---x---o---o
+               B
+
+  we should be able to format commits 'o', without duplicates,
+  by:
+
+       $ git format-patch ^A ^B C
+
+  Currently the closest approximation is
+
+       $ git format-patch A..C B..C
+
+  which results in the last two commits including C formatted
+  twice.
