Yup.  "completely useless" on the title is less than half correct,
but still correct for a minor use case where -C is used to use
*more* context lines than the default.

We could update "rebase --apply" codepath to increase the context
lines generated by format-patch.  That would make the "completely
useless" totally incorrect ;-)
