Excerpt from git-mailinfo[1]:

--scissors::
	Remove everything in body before a scissors line.  A line that
	mainly consists of scissors (either ">8" or "8<") and perforation
	(dash "-") marks is called a scissors line, and is used to request
	the reader to cut the message at that line.  If such a line
	appears in the body of the message before the patch, everything
	before it (including the scissors line itself) is ignored when
	this option is used.

Does it need to be updated to say that a space is required between the
perforation and the scissors?
