[PATCH] format-patch: Remove last vestiges of --mbox option

[PATCH] format-patch: Remove last vestiges of --mbox option

[Andreas Ericsson]

Don't mention it in docs or --help output.
Remove mbox, date and author variables from git-format-patch.sh.

Use DESCRIPTION text from man-page to update LONG_USAGE output. It's
a bit silly to have two texts saying the same thing in different words,
and I'm too lazy to update both.

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 Prepare each commit with its patch since <mine> head forked from
-<his> head, one file per patch, for e-mail submission.  Each
-output file is numbered sequentially from 1, and uses the first
-line of the commit message (massaged for pathname safety) as the
-filename.
+<his> head, one file per patch formatted to resemble UNIX mailbox
+format, for e-mail submission or use with gitlink:git-am[1].
 
-When -o is specified, output files are created in that
-directory; otherwise in the current working directory.
+Each output file is numbered sequentially from 1, and uses the
+first line of the commit message (massaged for pathname safety)
+as the filename.
+
+When -o is specified, output files are created in <dir>; otherwise
+they are created in the current working directory.  This option
+is ignored if --stdout is specified.
 
 When -n is specified, instead of "[PATCH] Subject", the first
 line is formatted as "[PATCH N/M] Subject", unless you have only
 one patch.
 
-When --mbox is specified, the output is formatted to resemble
-UNIX mailbox format, and can be concatenated together for
-processing with applymbox.
