Junio C Hamano 5cb545fa22 Documentation: suggest corresponding Porcelain-level in plumbing docs.
Instead of keeping the confused end user reading low-level
documentation, suggest the higher level commands that implement
what the user may want to do using them upfront.

git-applypatch(1)
=================
NAME
----
git-applypatch - Apply one patch extracted from an e-mail
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-applypatch' <msg> <patch> <info> [<signoff>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is usually not what an end user wants to run directly. See
gitlink:git-am[1] instead.
Takes three files <msg>, <patch>, and <info> prepared from an
e-mail message by 'git-mailinfo', and creates a commit. It is
usually not necessary to use this command directly.
This command can run `applypatch-msg`, `pre-applypatch`, and
`post-applypatch` hooks. See link:hooks.html[hooks] for more
information.
OPTIONS
-------
<msg>::
Commit log message (sans the first line, which comes
from e-mail Subject stored in <info>).
<patch>::
The patch to apply.
<info>::
Author and subject information extracted from e-mail,
used on "author" line and as the first line of the
commit log message.
