As a reviewer aid, insert a range-diff (see linkgit:git-range-diff[1])

+ into the cover letter, or as commentary of the lone patch of a
+ 1-patch series, showing the differences between the previous
version of the patch series and the series currently being formatted.
`previous` can be a single revision naming the tip of the previous
series if it shares a common base with the series being formatted (for
disjoint (for example `git format-patch --cover-letter
--range-diff=feature/v1~3..feature/v1 -3 feature/v2`).
+--creation-factor=<percent>::
+ Used with `--range-diff`, tweak the heuristic which matches up commits
