Yes, I did of course notice documentation for `git diff` also has
these; ultimately my justification for not changing that to use this
new .adoc include as well was for a couple reasons:
- these two options are not together in the `git diff` documentation
(not *so* important, and they probably should actually be together?)
- there is an extra if def which adds on "implies --patch" text in the
`git diff` documentation which isn't the behaviour the add-patch
commands are going for, so that makes the intent a little different
here

But would be good to hear if anyone else has any thoughts.
