The synopsis shows "send-email options" are also allowed (as
optional), the mention of "relevant options" here was to indicate
additional options from git-format-patch which make sense (ex: common
diff options, --root, or the options from the range section of
references).

The truth is that you can actually do files, directories and revisions
now, but that is a bug.

git send-email behaves similar to ln(1), depending on what options and arguments that are passed. See my attempted patch [1] for the wording.

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210924121352.42138-1-bagasdotme@xxxxxxxxx/

For SYNOPSIS for file/directory and revision range, I suggest:

'git send-email' [<options>] <file|directory>...
'git send-email' [<send-email options>] [<format-patch options>] <revision range>

where <revision range> must be any forms that are accepted by git-format-patch(1).
