The argument 'auto' often breaks for me.  I mean, I am not sure the
manual should have:

        We recommend to use the command 'git format-patch --base=auto'
        to include the commit where your patch applies.

but 'auto' should only be an advice or a recommendation as suggested
parameter for the otpion '--base'.  IMHO.
