I was planning on writing the corresponding patch to Git too, but the logs make
it clear that this option is only meant for other calling processes.

While it would make sense to document it in Git's man pages still (what other
reference is there?) it makes less sense to suggest it for interactive use.

I suggest you ignore this patch.
