Title:
  man page and --help are inconsistent

Status in patch package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: patch

  man patch shows "-pnum" and "-g num" - once with a space and once without.
  patch --help shows "-p NUM" and "-g NUM", so it always uses spaces, and it has NUM instead of num

  patch --version
  patch 2.6
