| 15 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 16 | ----------- | |
| 17 | Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving | |
| 18 | the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present | |
| 19 | in the quilt patchset. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the | |
| 22 | patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author | |
| 23 | specified with --author. If the --author flag was not given | |
| 24 | the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to | |
| 25 | interactively enter the author of the patch. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is | |
| 28 | preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description. | |
