But the given commit is empty and does not result in a patch at all, which is the whole point of having this option, no? A typical format-patch output message consists of the message part and the patch part, and calling an output created for an empty commit a "patch" leads to confusion, I am afraid. So, between the two sentences, I do not see much difference either way.
