Indeed, yes. I've fixed it, thanks.

In the output of “patch --help” there is a “merge” output option:

-m --merge Merge using conflict markers instead of creating reject files.

Running “patch -m” fails with “invalid option -- 'm' ”, but “patch --merge” seems to work fine. The man page does not mention the short form; maybe the help output shouldn’t either.
