 The `--patch` option implies `--keep-index`.  You can use 
 `--no-keep-index` to override this.
 
+--pathspec-from-file=<file>::
+	This option is only valid for `push` command.

+Pathspec is passed in `<file>` instead of commandline args. If
+`<file>` is exactly `-` then standard input is used. Pathspec
+elements are separated by LF or CR/LF. Pathspec elements can be
