:-) It is ok.
Git format-patch is extremely easy to use with multiple files, I don't have to
specifay each file to diff; git does everything behind the back comparing
changed files in different worktrees/branches; but yes it makes for a big file.
I had thoughts to make different patch, one for help one for info, for that very
same reason, but the convenience (just another word for laziness) won. I also
forgett which file goes first to diff, the new one or the old one too :).
