Subject: [PATCH] doc: am --show-current-patch gives an entire e-mail message
Message-ID: <xmqqwocwgfgr.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com>

```
The existing wording gives an impression that it only gives the
contents of the $GIT_DIR/rebase-apply/patch file, i.e. the patch
proper, but the option actually emits the entire e-mail message
being processed (iow, one of the output files from "git mailsplit").
