+git-format-patch -M -B origin::
+       The same as the previous one, except detect and handle
+       renames and complete rewrites intelligently to produce
+       renaming patch.  A renaming patch reduces the amount of
+       text output, and generally makes it easier to review
+       it.  Note that the "patch" program does not understand
+       renaming patch well, so use it only when you know the
+       recipient uses git to apply your patch.
