[Git] How to get "git format-patch" to avoid generating patches foralready merged commits

Hello all,

I was told to use "git format-patch", but I'm running into a major issue with
its behaviour:

Apparently, it generates patches for already merged commits which necessitates
creating more and more branches. If you know a way around it, please reply on
Stack Overflow or here.

Regards,
