[PATCH v1 25/27] doc/diff-generate-patch: mention new --diff-merges option

From: Sergey Organov <hidden>
Date: 2020-11-08 21:41:54
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Mention --diff-merges instead of -m in a note to merge formats to aid
discoverability, as -m is now described among --diff-merges options
