Hello there,

During my work flow, I tend to use `git format-patch` to move patches
around (nasty, I know, but bear with me)

It has occured to me that, it is possible that `git format-patch` can
clobber existing files, if they match in the name and in the "patch
order".
However, if the patch is one, then, it will normally start with `0001-x.patch`

It was fine for me when I pushed updates of the same "patch series".
Now that I wanted to diff a "previous patch file" with the patch
upstream, however, it was almost a "disaster". :-)

Would it make sense / be easy enough to have some clobbering check / flag?
