If I have one branch 'foo' off of HEAD, and then I branc 'bar' off of foo, ideally, if I have bar checked out I should be able to say webkit-patch -g foo and get just the changes on bar plus whatever is dirty in the tree. Instead, I'm not sure what happens. If I say -g foo..HEAD, I get just the checked in files (which makes sense), but then there is no way to create or edit the ChangeLog and have it get rolled into the patch. You have to run it once, break out, edit the ChangeLog, check it back in, and run it again.
