Dears Sanjaya,
     Thanks for your suggestion. I don't see the actual difference
between
     the two sentences, and do you want to enhance the word "always"?
     If you do, how about just describing the option as "Always include patches..."?

Semantically speaking, I choose "generate" because git format-patch **generates**
patches from the specified commits.

But the given commit is empty and does not result in a patch at
all, which is the whole point of having this option, no?  A typical
format-patch output message consists of the message part and the
patch part, and calling an output created for an empty commit a
"patch" leads to confusion, I am afraid.

So, between the two sentences, I do not see much difference either
way.
