In _git_send_email, we have the following lines: __gitcomp "--annotate --bcc --cc --cc-cmd --chain-reply-to ... more options ... $__git_format_patch_options" Would it make sense to take the old `__git_format_patch_options` and just roll them into here, then make `_git_format_patch` use `__gitcomp_builtin format-patch`? That way, we'd be able to reap the benefits of using `__gitcomp_builtin` where we can.
