Junio C Hamano 8a1d076e21 "format-patch --root rev" is the way to show everything.
We used to trigger the special case "things not in origin"
semantics only when one and only one positive ref is given, and
no number (e.g. "git format-patch -4 origin") was specified, and
used the general revision range semantics for everything else.

This narrows the special case a bit more, by making:

	git format-patch --root this_version

to show everything that leads to the named commit.

More importantly, document the two different semantics better.
The generic revision range semantics came later and bolted on
without being clearly documented.
