14 | DESCRIPTION | |

16 | Splits mail messages in a mailbox into commit log message, | |
17 | authorship information and patches, and applies them to the | |
18 | current branch. | |

20 | OPTIONS |
21 | ------- | |
22 | --signoff:: | |
23 | Add `Signed-off-by:` line to the commit message, using | |
24 | the committer identity of yourself. | |

26 | --dotest=<dir>:: |
27 | Instead of `.dotest` directory, use <dir> as a working | |
28 | area to store extracted patches. | |

baa720f5 JH |
30 | --utf8, --keep:: |
31 | Pass `--utf8` and `--keep` flags to `git-mailinfo` (see | |
32 | gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]). | |
33 | ||
34 | --3way:: | |
35 | When the patch does not apply cleanly, fall back on | |
36 | 3-way merge, if the patch records the identity of blobs | |
37 | it is supposed to apply to, and we have those blobs | |
38 | locally. | |
39 | ||
40 | --skip:: | |
41 | Skip the current patch. This is only meaningful when | |
42 | restarting an aborted patch. | |
43 | ||
44 | --interactive:: | |
45 | Run interactively, just like git-applymbox. | |
46 | ||
47 | ||
48 | DISCUSSION | |
49 | ---------- | |
50 | ||
51 | When initially invoking it, you give it names of the mailboxes | |
52 | to crunch. Upon seeing the first patch that does not apply, it | |
53 | aborts in the middle, just like 'git-applymbox' does. You can | |
54 | recover from this in one of two ways: | |
55 | ||
56 | . skip the current one by re-running the command with '--skip' | |
57 | option. | |
58 | ||
59 | . hand resolve the conflict in the working directory, run 'git | |
60 | diff HEAD' to extract the merge result into a patch form and | |
61 | replacing the patch part of the message in .dotest directory. | |
62 | After doing this, run `git-reset --hard HEAD` to bring the | |
63 | working tree to the state before half-applying the patch, then | |
64 | re-run the command without any options. | |
65 | ||
66 | The command refuses to process new mailboxes while `.dotest` | |
67 | directory exists, so if you decide to start over from scratch, | |
68 | run `rm -f .dotest` before running the command with mailbox | |
69 | names. | |
