The negated forms introduced in c426003 (format-patch: add --no-cc, --no-to, and --no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) were not documented anywhere. Add them to the descriptions of the positive forms. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <redacted> --- I can't help but notice that the options aren't symmetric: --no-add-header clears more than just the options added by --add-header. It's probably too late to change though. Documentation/git-format-patch.txt | 9 ++++++++- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
