+<his> head, one file per patch formatted to resemble UNIX mailbox
+format, for e-mail submission or use with gitlink:git-am[1].
-When -o is specified, output files are created in that
-directory; otherwise in the current working directory.
+Each output file is numbered sequentially from 1, and uses the
+first line of the commit message (massaged for pathname safety)
+as the filename.
+

+they are created in the current working directory. This option
+is ignored if --stdout is specified.
When -n is specified, instead of "[PATCH] Subject", the first
line is formatted as "[PATCH N/M] Subject", unless you have only
