I use --no-git for that purpose now; this makes it a little faster, too.

I was yet able to use -patch correctly and the patches look pretty good.
There is one issue left, however. If I want to make patches per directory,
then I'd need spatch to _not_ recurse into child directories. Given

	drivers/misc
	drivers/misc/eeprom

the patch for 'drivers/misc/' will now also contain the eeprom-patches.
While I'm still thinking if one or two patches are more apropriate for my
current case, I think being able to control recursion is useful in general.
What do you think?
