Documentation: publicize KMail hints for sending patches inline
These hints are in git's private SubmittingPatches document but a wider audience might be interested. Move them to the "git format-patch" manpage. I'm not sure what gotchas these hints are meant to work around. They might be completely false. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>
