NAME

-git-format-patch - Some git command not yet documented.
+git-format-patch - Prepare patches for e-mail submission.
SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-format-patch' [ --option ] <args>...
+'git-format-patch' [-n][-o <dir>][-k][--mbox][--diff-options] <his> [<mine>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Does something not yet documented.
+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.
+
+When -o is specified, output files are created in that
+directory; otherwise in the current working directory.
+
+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.
OPTIONS
-------
---option::
- Some option not yet documented.
+-o <dir>::
+ Use <dir> to store the resulting files, instead of the
+ current working directory.
+
+-n::
+ Name output in '[PATCH n/m]' format.
+
+-k::
+ Do not strip/add '[PATCH]' from the first line of the
+ commit log message.
+
+--author, --date::
+ Output From: and Date: headers for commits made by
+ yourself as well. Usually these are output only for
+ commits made by people other than yourself.
-<args>...::
- Some argument not yet documented.
+--mbox::
+ Format the output files for closer to mbox format by
+ adding a phony Unix "From " line, so they can be
+ concatenated together and fed to `git-applymbox`.
+ Implies --author and --date.
