+--interdiff=<previous>::
+ As a reviewer aid, insert an interdiff into the cover letter,
+ or as commentary of the lone patch of a 1-patch series, showing
+ the differences between the previous version of the patch series and
+ the series currently being formatted. `previous` is a single revision
+ naming the tip of the previous series which shares a common base with
