-================

-NAME
-----
-git-applymbox - Apply a series of patches in a mailbox
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-'git-applymbox' [-u] [-k] [-q] [-m] ( -c .dotest/<num> | <mbox> ) [ <signoff> ]
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Splits mail messages in a mailbox into commit log message,
-authorship information and patches, and applies them to the
-current branch.
-
-
-OPTIONS
--------
--q::
- Apply patches interactively. The user will be given
- opportunity to edit the log message and the patch before
- attempting to apply it.
-
--k::
- Usually the program 'cleans up' the Subject: header line
- to extract the title line for the commit log message,
- among which (1) remove 'Re:' or 're:', (2) leading
- whitespaces, (3) '[' up to ']', typically '[PATCH]', and
- then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
- munging, and is most useful when used to read back 'git
- format-patch --mbox' output.
-
--m::
- Patches are applied with `git-apply` command, and unless
- it cleanly applies without fuzz, the processing fails.
- With this flag, if a tree that the patch applies cleanly
- is found in a repository, the patch is applied to the
- tree and then a 3-way merge between the resulting tree
- and the current tree.
-
--u::
- By default, the commit log message, author name and
- author email are taken from the e-mail without any
- charset conversion, after minimally decoding MIME
- transfer encoding. This flag causes the resulting
- commit to be encoded in utf-8 by transliterating them.
- Note that the patch is always used as is without charset
- conversion, even with this flag.
-
--c .dotest/<num>::
- When the patch contained in an e-mail does not cleanly
- apply, the command exits with an error message. The
- patch and extracted message are found in .dotest/, and
- you could re-run 'git applymbox' with '-c .dotest/<num>'
- flag to restart the process after inspecting and fixing
- them.
-
-<mbox>::
- The name of the file that contains the e-mail messages
- with patches. This file should be in the UNIX mailbox
- format. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn about
- the formatting convention for e-mail submission.
-
-<signoff>::
- The name of the file that contains your "Signed-off-by"
- line. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn what
- "Signed-off-by" line means. You can also just say
- 'yes', 'true', 'me', or 'please' to use an automatically
- generated "Signed-off-by" line based on your committer
- identity.
