Hi Bert,

> Subject: format-patch: document and exercise that -o does only create the trailing directory

s/does only create/only creates/ ?

Anyway, as a prepatory patch, I don't think that it's necessary. Maybe
it's just me but I assume that most tools create at most one directory
deep. Even mkdir won't created nested dirs unless you pass `-p`. I
dunno.

For test case you write, please use the following pattern:

	git rev-list master..side >list &&
	test_line_count = $(ls patches | wc -l) list

The first benefit is that we get to take advantage of the
test_line_count function that's already written for us. The second is
that when we write tests, we shouldn't put Git commands in the upstream
of a pipe because if they fail, their return codes will be lost and we
won't be able to fail the test properly.

As above, I wouldn't really call this a bug in Git. I think we should
leave this test case off until the next patch.
