This is my first patch to git \o/
Sent with thunderbird with help of format-patch'doc (So, it works!).
I've tested the patch and git am works well on maint and next.

as is done for --no-decorate and --decorate just after. 
I couldn't think of a proper phrasing so I'll be glad to get suggestion on this.
