The man page of "git format-patch" already mentions that its output can be consumed by "git am". I suggest to add a similar remark to the man page of "git am" to mention that it consumes output from "git format-patch".

I read the output of "git format-patch --help" and "git am --help", using git version 2.40.0 installed via Homebrew on macOS 13.2.1 (22D68).
