   8 SYNOPSIS
   9 --------
  10 'git mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] -o<directory> [--] [<mbox>|<Maildir>...]

  12 DESCRIPTION
  13 -----------
  14 Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" ..  in the
  15 specified directory so you can process them further from there.
  16
  17 IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
  18 patches in the correct order.

  20 OPTIONS
  21 -------
  22 <mbox>::
  23         Mbox file to split.  If not given, the mbox is read from
  24         the standard input.
  25
  26 <Maildir>::
  27         Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp
  28         and new subdirectories.
  29
  30 -o<directory>::
  31         Directory in which to place the individual messages.
  32
  33 -b::
  34         If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
  35         single mail message instead of signaling error.
  36
  37 -d<prec>::
  38         Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
  39         different precision can be specified for the generated
  40         filenames.
  41
  42 -f<nn>::
  43         Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
  44         start the numbering with 0004.
