Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Document negated forms of format-patch --to --cc --add-headers
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2011 22:10:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b18a36a42a45dd4147c43d959c64e00b9b17e4ac.1314648438.git.trast@student.ethz.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <bbfb7190ca0125798417f57f4d33b5443257e478.1314648438.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>

The negated forms introduced in c426003 (format-patch: add --no-cc,
--no-to, and --no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) were not documented
anywhere.  Add them to the descriptions of the positive forms.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>

I can't help but notice that the options aren't symmetric:
--no-add-header clears more than just the options added by
--add-header.  It's probably too late to change though.
