Do you mean that the second form can just be: git send-email <format-patch options> That will exclude the send-email specific ones (like "--in-reply-to=<msg>"), so it may not be a great idea. Or do you mean git send-email <options> and have the <options> placeholder to stand for both send-email options and options meant for format-patch? Thanks.
