Please scratch this one.  I simply forgot that we have lost
the

	git format-patch <his> <mine>

syntax long time ago during Git 1.4.0 timeframe [*].  I somehow was
confused since we still have the corresponding

	rebase <since-onto> <mine>

syntax.


[Footnote]
 * I suspect this may not have been a conscious design decision but
   by accident during the rewrite of the command in C that I started
   at 3eefc189 (Tentative built-in format-patch., 2006-04-18) and
   whose final shape was documented by 2052d146 (Update
   documentation for git-format-patch, 2006-05-31).
