I couldn't find the hash of the parent commit in my git format-patch
exported patch, e.g. https://bug778584.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/a
ttachment.cgi?id=345698.
Do I need to do anything special in order to export the parent also?
The man page for git-format-patch does not show anything useful for
"parent".
