Subject: Including branch info in git format-patch

Hi all

We have two public branches on the tinyproxy project[1]: master and 1.6.
We send patches to the mailing list to get them reviewed before they are
applied and pushed to the public repo.

When i use "git format-patch", it doesn't seem to include the branch (or
remote) name in the email it creates. So a reader of this mail may not
know what branch to apply it on to test it. Aside from adding in branch
information manually in the body of the message, is there any other
existing way to get git format-patch to include it?

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question.

		Mukund
