No, what I did was just "git clone" one repository to my local directory.
And entered the local directory to modify one file I wanted.
Then I run "git diff > my.patch". The "my.patch" was supposed to
contain one file diff information. But it contained the all the files,
including which were not changed.

Thanks to reply. I''ll try to Andreas's suggestion.
