| 14 | DESCRIPTION | |

| 18 | current branch. | |
| 19 | ||

20 | OPTIONS |
| 21 | ------- | |
| 22 | --signoff:: | |
| 23 | Add `Signed-off-by:` line to the commit message, using | |
| 24 | the committer identity of yourself. | |
| 42e2cba2 | 25 | |
| baa720f5 JH |
26 | --dotest=<dir>:: |
| 27 | Instead of `.dotest` directory, use <dir> as a working | |
| 28 | area to store extracted patches. | |
| 42e2cba2 | 29 | |
| baa720f5 | 30 | --utf8, --keep:: |
| 68e37f84 | 31 | Pass `-u` and `-k` flags to `git-mailinfo` (see |
| baa720f5 JH |
32 | gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]). |
| 33 | ||
| 087b6742 JH |
34 | --binary:: |
| 35 | Pass `--allow-binary-replacement` flag to `git-apply` | |
| 36 | (see gitlink:git-apply[1]). | |
| 37 | ||
| baa720f5 JH |
38 | --3way:: |
| 39 | When the patch does not apply cleanly, fall back on | |
| 40 | 3-way merge, if the patch records the identity of blobs | |
| 41 | it is supposed to apply to, and we have those blobs | |
| 42 | locally. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | --skip:: | |
| 45 | Skip the current patch. This is only meaningful when | |
| 46 | restarting an aborted patch. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | --interactive:: | |
| 49 | Run interactively, just like git-applymbox. | |
| 50 | ||
| 087b6742 JH |
51 | --resolved:: |
| 52 | After a patch failure (e.g. attempting to apply | |
| 53 | conflicting patch), the user has applied it by hand and | |
| 54 | the index file stores the result of the application. | |
| 55 | Make a commit using the authorship and commit log | |
| 56 | extracted from the e-mail message and the current index | |
| 57 | file, and continue. | |

| 59 | DISCUSSION | |
| 60 | ---------- | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | When initially invoking it, you give it names of the mailboxes | |
| 63 | to crunch. Upon seeing the first patch that does not apply, it | |
| 64 | aborts in the middle, just like 'git-applymbox' does. You can | |
| 65 | recover from this in one of two ways: | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | . skip the current one by re-running the command with '--skip' | |
| 68 | option. | |
| 69 | ||
| 087b6742 JH |
70 | . hand resolve the conflict in the working directory, and update |
| 71 | the index file to bring it in a state that the patch should | |
| 1e2ccd3a | 72 | have produced. Then run the command with '--resolved' option. |
| baa720f5 JH |
73 | |
| 74 | The command refuses to process new mailboxes while `.dotest` | |
| 75 | directory exists, so if you decide to start over from scratch, | |
| 76 | run `rm -f .dotest` before running the command with mailbox | |
| 77 | names. | |
