.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\-\-ignore\-if\-in\-upstream
Do not include a patch that matches a commit in <until>..<since>. This will examine all patches reachable from <since> but not from <until> and compare them with the patches being generated, and any patch that matches is ignored.
.TP
+\-\-subject\-prefix=<Subject\-Prefix>
+Instead of the standard \fI[PATCH]\fR prefix in the subject line, instead use \fI[<Subject\-Prefix>]\fR. This allows for useful naming of a patch series, and can be combined with the \-\-numbered option.
+.TP
\-\-suffix=.<sfx>
Instead of using .patch as the suffix for generated filenames, use specifed suffix. A common alternative is \-\-suffix=.txt.
