 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 Reads the supplied diff output (i.e. "a patch") and applies it to files.
 With the `--index` option the patch is also applied to the index, and
-with the `--cache` option the patch is only applied to the index.
+with the `--cached` option the patch is only applied to the index.
 Without these options, the command applies the patch only to files,
 and does not require them to be in a git repository.
 
+This command applies the patch but does not create a commit.  Use
+linkgit:git-am[1] to create commits from patches generated by
+linkgit:git-format-patch[1] and/or received by email.
