Usually I will not diff between the master and my local branch. I will
sync my local branch with the master in the morning and commit my
changes there. Now while generating the patch if I want to generate my
last patch then I just use git format-patch -1. If you want last 2
patches then use git format-patch -2. If you want to have them in series
with the numbering in the subject use git format-patch -2 -n.
And please dont use "sir".
