| f85a4191 | 6 | git-mailinfo - Extracts patch from a single e-mail message. |

| 14 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | ----------- | |
| f85a4191 JH |
16 | Reading a single e-mail message from the standard input, and |
| 17 | writes the commit log message in <msg> file, and the patches in | |
| 18 | <patch> file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are | |
| 19 | written out to the standard output to be used by git-applypatch | |
| 20 | to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this | |
| 21 | command directly. | |

26 | -k:: |
| 27 | Usually the program 'cleans up' the Subject: header line | |
| 28 | to extract the title line for the commit log message, | |
| 29 | among which (1) remove 'Re:' or 're:', (2) leading | |
| 30 | whitespaces, (3) '[' up to ']', typically '[PATCH]', and | |
| 31 | then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this | |
| 32 | munging, and is most useful when used to read back 'git | |
| 33 | format-patch --mbox' output. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | -u:: | |
| 36 | By default, the commit log message, author name and | |
| 37 | author email are taken from the e-mail without any | |
| 38 | charset conversion, after minimally decoding MIME | |
| 39 | transfer encoding. This flag causes the resulting | |
| 40 | commit to be encoded in utf-8 by transliterating them. | |
| 41 | Note that the patch is always used as is without charset | |
| 42 | conversion, even with this flag. | |
