"git send-email --f<tab>" lacks --find-renames and others. Is the list
of possible options maintained manually? Perhaps this should be
automated by placing the long strings in an ELF section, then filling
variables like $__git_format_patch_options from such ELF section.
An example how this was done in libguestfs is here (see daemon/daemon.h):
