Could you claify this idea a bit more? Do you mean that the second form
can just be:
git send-email <format-patch options>
That will exclude the send-email specific ones (like
"--in-reply-to=<msg>"), so it may not be a great idea.
Or do you mean
git send-email <options>
and have the <options> placeholder to stand for both send-email
options and options meant for format-patch?
Thanks.
