Subject: Where man git-format-patch sends me?
Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2007 16:58:43 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87lk9i2hkc.fsf@osv.gnss.ru> (raw)

$ man git-format-patch
[...]
OPTIONS
       -p     Generate patch (see section on generating patches)

       -u     Synonym for "-p".
[...]
$

1. Saying "-p generates patch" suggests that without -p git-format-patch
   will generate something else. It's rather confusing.

2. Where is this "section on generating patches"? I thought it could be
   in man git-diff, but it is not.
