When called with "--stdout", it still writes to standard output.
Notable differences to git-format-patch:
- since fmt-patch uses the standardized logging machinery, it is
no longer "From nobody", but "From <commit_sha1>",
- the empty lines before and after the "---" just before the
diffstat are no longer there,
- git-format-patch outputs the commit_sha1 just before the first
diff, which fmt-patch does not,
- the file names are no longer output to stdout, but to stderr
(since stdout is freopen()ed all the time), and
- "git fmt-patch HEAD^" does not work as expected: it outputs
*all* commits reachable from HEAD^!
The last one is possibly a showstopper. At least I used to call that
command quite often...

* master:
Split up builtin commands into separate files from git.c
git-log produces no output
fix pack-object buffer size
mailinfo: decode underscore used in "Q" encoding properly.
Reintroduce svn pools to solve the memory leak.
pack-objects: do not stop at object that is "too small"
git-commit --amend: two fixes.
get_tree_entry(): make it available from tree-walk
sha1_name.c: no need to include diff.h; tree-walk.h will do.
sha1_name.c: prepare to make get_tree_entry() reusable from others.
get_sha1() shorthands for blob/tree objects
pre-commit hook: complain about conflict markers.
git-merge: a bit more readable user guidance.
diff: move diff.c to diff-lib.c to make room.
git log: don't do merge diffs by default
Allow "git repack" users to specify repacking window/depth
Document git-clone --reference
Fix filename scaling for binary files
Fix uninteresting tags in new revision parsing
Conflicts:
Adjusted the addition of fmt-patch to match the recent split
from git.c to builtin.log.c.
Right now it split it into "builtin-log.c" for log-related commands
("log", "show" and "whatchanged"), and "builtin-help.c" for the
informational commands (usage printing and "help" and "version").
This just makes things easier to read, I find.
