First, make sure your multiple commits are really there: check they are
all visible in `git log`.

Then, what is your git format-patch exact command? If it ends in "-1",
then the result you are seeing is normal: the -1 is telling it to take
the last patch.

You need to tell git format-patch the last commit before yours. You can
get it from `git log`. It would be even simpler if you thought of making
a branch: then you just need to specify the name of the branch from
which you branched.
