#:  * `unpack` [`--git`|`--patch`] [`--destdir=`<path>] <formulae>:
#:    Unpack the source files for <formulae> into subdirectories of the current
#:    working directory. If `--destdir=`<path> is given, the subdirectories will
#:    be created in the directory named by <path> instead.
#:
#:    If `--patch` is passed, patches for <formulae> will be applied to the
#:    unpacked source.
#:
#:    If `--git` (or `-g`) is passed, a Git repository will be initialized in the unpacked
#:    source. This is useful for creating patches for the software.
