 EXAMPLES
 --------
 
-git-format-patch -k --stdout R1..R2 | git-am -3 -k::
-	Extract commits between revisions R1 and R2, and apply
-	them on top of the current branch using `git-am` to
-	cherry-pick them.
-
-git-format-patch origin::
-	Extract all commits which are in the current branch but
-	not in the origin branch.  For each commit a separate file
-	is created in the current directory.
-
-git-format-patch \--root origin::
-	Extract all commits that lead to 'origin' since the
-	inception of the project.
-
-git-format-patch -M -B origin::
-	The same as the previous one.  Additionally, it detects
-	and handles renames and complete rewrites intelligently to
-	produce a renaming patch.  A renaming patch reduces the
-	amount of text output, and generally makes it easier to
-	review it.  Note that the "patch" program does not
-	understand renaming patches, so use it only when you know
-	the recipient uses git to apply your patch.
-
-git-format-patch -3::
-	Extract three topmost commits from the current branch
-	and format them as e-mailable patches.
