Re: [Orgmode] :cache documentation patch

[Eric Schulte]

Hi Tom,

Yes, the commit is important, this method actually shares all of your
commit, including the author information and the commit message.

I do this outside of magit, I tend to go to the magit buffer to make
sure everything looks ok, then do M-! and type in the command line
manually.  I'm not sure what the magit way of doing this would be, but
the "D" method you described doesn't generate the same type of output
file as does git format-patch.

Thanks -- Eric
