The commands

further down in the man page, but not really documented. Please add
documentaion for those, too. Thanks!

There's a paragraph about the "-all" versions in the same section:
Then, there is a version of each patch handling command with an
-all suffix, which does not take any arguments, and performs the
necessary action for each and every available dpatch.
The -until/-up-to versions are also documented the same way. I do not
wish to repeat the same description for every -all variant, that is why
they're documented together in a short paragraph.
Granted, you can't find it by grepping for apply-all and the like, but
it is still reasonably easy to find, in my opinion.
For this reason, I don't consider this a bug, and I'm closing the
report. If you disagree, I can be persuaded to update the man page, and
a patch would go a long way in doing so. :)
