I noticed that the description of the -p option for the format-patch was out-of-date.

In the first patch I suggest how the documentation and implementation can again be made to agree.

The second patch builds on the first patch and removes the description of common diff options that are not useful for format-patch (AFAIK), to make the documentation easier to read.

The third patch cleans up formatting of git commands and options.
Björn Gustavsson (3):
  format-patch: Make implementation and documentation agree
  format-patch documentation: Remove diff options that are not useful
  format-patch documentation: Fix formatting
