Works for me.  The 'format-patch' section is also useful, because it's
easy to understand how a mailing list could get inserted between
'format-patch' and 'am' ;).

The problem with a section on 'rebase -i' is that it does such a good
job explaining itself ;).  I suppose I could add a few "screenshots"
:p.
