Sorry, I did saw that, but it doesn't change anything.

1. As a user reading man git-format-patch, where do I find this "section
   on generating patches"? In another man-page? In the html
   documentation? On the moon?

2. I can't find "section on generating patches" in the man git-diff
   either, and I did say this in the part of my original message you've
   snipped.

So the main question remains: could you please point me to the exact
place in 'Documentation/' directory where this "section on generating
patches" resides?
