Even though it's not documented, users still can make use of pathspecs in 'git format-patch'. This patch series improves the way it works.

First, parse_options must not eat the '--', then, full-diff is the only way pathspecs make sense.

This is v2, after comments from Junio. Still pending are the improvements in documentation to explain how pathspecs make sense.

  format-patch: make full-diff enabled by default
  format-patch: add test for dashdash
