X-Git-Tag: v1.0.8^2~2 X-Git-Url: https://git.octo.it/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5f815e5922eb31c5826e5f5f21e83d1f6f338ed1;hp=36071af305d1491087661b8ad60ef57bf4d19394;p=git.git Fix git-format-patch usage string wrt output modes. --stdout was not mentionned, and the description for the case where -o was not given was thus incomplete.

When -n is specified, instead of "[PATCH] Subject", the first line is formatted as "[PATCH N/M] Subject", unless you have only one patch.
