  SYNOPSIS

  [verse]
-'git send-email' [<options>] <file|directory|rev-list options>...

  'git send-email' --dump-aliases
Is <format-patch options> optional? If so, we can say [<format-patch
options>].
no; as Junio explained [1] this omission is intentional while the
rev-list options that
got cut to make space are not and are more relevant.

IMHO leaving [<options>] to imply ALL options (that also include diff
options, for example) is better
