|
||||
|

SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
'git-am' [--signoff] [--dotest=<dir>] [--utf8] [--3way] <mbox>
|
||||
'git-am' [--signoff] [--dotest=<dir>] [--utf8] [--3way] <mbox>...
|
||||
'git-am' [--skip]
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
@ -17,17 +17,56 @@ Splits mail messages in a mailbox into commit log message,
|
||||
authorship information and patches, and applies them to the
|
||||
current branch.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the replacement for the 'git-applymbox' script.
|
||||
Unlike git-applymbox, it can take more than one mailbox file from
|
||||
the command line, as well as reading from the standard input when
|
||||
'-' is specified. Other differences include changed parameter names
|
||||
and less descriptive command name.
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
-------
|
||||
--signoff::
|
||||
Add `Signed-off-by:` line to the commit message, using
|
||||
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::
|
||||
Run interactively, just like git-applymbox.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When initially invoking it, you give it name of the mailbox to crunch.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
DISCUSSION
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
