Subject: Documentation: "git am" should point to "git format-patch"
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2023 17:40:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFmGgWVVdgQj_gzcDw4Lyzt1aBc-7oyt8=JT3GskHegUu+8sTg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

The man page of "git format-patch" already mentions that its output
can be consumed by "git am".  I suggest to add a similar remark to the
man page of "git am" to mention that it consumes output from "git
format-patch".

I read the output of "git format-patch --help" and "git am --help",
using git version 2.40.0 installed via Homebrew on macOS 13.2.1
(22D68).

Kai
