@@ -409,12 +409,19 @@ tg export
 	a comma-separated explicit list of branches to export. This
 	mode of operation is currently not supported with collapse.
 
+	In '--quilt' mode the patches are named like the originating topgit
+	branch.  So usually they end up in subdirectories of the output
+	directory.  With option '--flatten' the names are mangled such that
+	they end up directly in the output dir (i.e. slashed are substituted by
+	underscores).  With '--numbered' (which implies '--flatten') the patch
+	names get a number as prefix to allow getting the order without
+	consulting the series file, which eases sending out the patches.

 	Usage: tg export ([--collapse] BRANCH | --quilt DIR)
 
 	TODO: Make stripping of non-essential headers configurable
 	TODO: Make stripping of [PATCH] and other prefixes configurable
 	TODO: --mbox option for other mode of operation
-	TODO: prevent exporting of empty patches by the collapse driver
 	TODO: -a option to export all branches
 	TODO: For quilt exporting, use a temporary branch and remove it when
 	      done - this would allow producing conflict-less series
