No, it creates patches from commits.  So you use Git as usual:

        (inspect your changes)
        $ git diff
        (stage the modified files)
        $ git add <files>
        (commit the stuff)
        $ git commit
        (now generate patches from, say, the last 3 commits)
        $ git format-patch -3
