Let's encourage first-time contributors to tell us what commit they
based their work with the format-patch invocation. As the example
already forks from origin/master and branch.autosetupmerge by
default records the upstream when the psuh branch was created, we
can use --base=auto for this.  Also, mention to the readers that the
range of commits can simply be given with `@{u}` if they are on the
`psuh` branch already.

As we are getting one more option on the command line, and spending
one paragraph each to explain them, let's reformat that part of the
description as a bulletted list.
