|
the committer identity of yourself.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
--dotest=<dir>::
|
||||||
|
Instead of `.dotest` directory, use <dir> as a working
|
||||||
|
area to store extracted patches.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
--utf8, --keep::
|
||||||
|
Pass `--utf8` and `--keep` flags to `git-mailinfo` (see
|
||||||
|
gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]).

|

|
--3way::
|
||||||
|
When the patch does not apply cleanly, fall back on

|
3-way merge, if the patch records the identity of blobs
|

|
it is supposed to apply to, and we have those blobs
|
||||||
|
locally.
|

|
|
||||||
|
--skip::
|
||||||
|
Skip the current patch. This is only meaningful when

|
restarting an aborted patch.

|
--interactive::

|

|
DISCUSSION
|
||||||
The usage hints that it might get interrupted and you will want to
|
----------
|
||||||
resume the last round of applying - to do that, pass it no mailbox
|
|
||||||
name, and optionally the mysterious '--skip' parameter.
|
When initially invoking it, you give it names of the mailboxes
|
||||||
|
to crunch. Upon seeing the first patch that does not apply, it
|
||||||
|
aborts in the middle, just like 'git-applymbox' does. You can
|
||||||
|
recover from this in one of two ways:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
. skip the current one by re-running the command with '--skip'
|
||||||
|
option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
. hand resolve the conflict in the working directory, run 'git
|
||||||
|
diff HEAD' to extract the merge result into a patch form and
|
||||||
|
replacing the patch part of the message in .dotest directory.
|
||||||
|
After doing this, run `git-reset --hard HEAD` to bring the
|
||||||
|
working tree to the state before half-applying the patch, then
|
||||||
|
re-run the command without any options.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The command refuses to process new mailboxes while `.dotest`
|
||||||
|
directory exists, so if you decide to start over from scratch,
|
||||||
|
run `rm -f .dotest` before running the command with mailbox
|
||||||
|
names.
