title: How can I generate a Git patch for a specific commit?
body: <p>I need to write a script that creates patches for a list of SHA-1 commit numbers.</p>
  <p>I tried using <code>git format-patch &lt;the SHA1&gt;</code>, but that generated a patch for each commit since that SHA-1 value. After a few hundred patches were generated, I had to kill the process.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to generate a patch only for the specific SHA-1 value?</p>
