Subject: patch-id: use “patch ID” throughout
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=285659cc983a60f89a60f96cff7397375766f3f8;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

patch-id: use “patch ID” throughout

The “Description” section decided to introduce and use the term “patch
ID” for the ID value itself.  Let’s use the same term on the options as
well.

Also make to sure to use bare “ID” instead of “id”.
