When "git am" failed, old timers knew to check .git/rebase-apply/patch
to see what went wrong, but we never told the users about it.
* pg/maint-1.7.9-am-where-is-patch:
am: indicate where a failed patch is to be found
If "git am" fails to apply something, the end user may need to know
where to find the patch that failed to apply, so that the user can
do other things (e.g. trying "GNU patch" on it, running "diffstat"
to see what it tried to change, etc.) The input to "am" may have
contained more than one patch, or the message may have been MIME
encoded, and knowing what the user fed to "am" does not help very
much for this purpose.
Also introduce advice.amworkdir configuration to allow people who
learned where to look to squelch this message.

When "git am -3" needs to fall back to an application to a synthesized
preimage followed by a 3-way merge, the paths that needed such treatment
are now reported to the end user, so that the result in them can be
eyeballed with extra care.
* jc/am-report-3way:
am -3: list the paths that needed 3-way fallback
"git am" learned the "--include" option, which is an opposite of existing
the "--exclude" option.

* jb/am-include:
am: support --include option
am supports a number of pass-through options
to apply, like --exclude and --directory. Add

When applying a patch that was based on an older release with "am -3", I
often wonder changes to which files need to be reviewed with extra care to
spot mismerges, but there is no good indication.
The paths that needed 3-way fallback can easily be obtained by comparing
the synthesized (partial) base tree and the current HEAD and noticing only
additions and modifications (removals only show the sparseness of the fake
ancestor tree, which is not useful information at all). List them in the
usual --name-status format.

We have had these options as harmless no-op for more than 3 years without
officially deprecating them. Let's announce the deprecation and start
warning against their use, but without failing the command just not yet,
so that we can later repurpose the option if we want to in the future.

The code to synthesize the fake ancestor tree used by 3-way merge
fallback in "git am" was not prepared to read a patch created with
a non-standard -p<num> value.
* jc/am-3-nonstandard-popt:
test: "am -3" can accept non-standard -p<num>
am -3: allow nonstandard -p<num> option
The --binary option to git-apply has been a no-op since 2b6eef9 (Make
apply --binary a no-op., 2006-09-06) and was deprecated in cb3a160
(git-am: ignore --binary option, 2008-08-09).
We could remove it outright, but let's be nice to people who still
have scripts saying 'git am -b' (if they exist) and tell them the
reason for the sudden failure.

git-am.sh's check_patch_format function would attempt to preview
the patch to guess its format, but would go into an infinite loop
when the patch file happened to be empty. The solution: exit the
loop when "read" fails, not when the line var, "$l1" becomes empty.

When falling back to 3-way merge, we run "git apply" to synthesize the
fake ancestor tree by parsing the incoming patch, and another "git apply"
to apply the patch to the fake ancestor tree. Both invocation need to
be aware of the custom -p<num> setting to parse patches that were prepared
with non-standard src/dst prefix.

git-am could pass -k to mailinfo, but not -b. Introduce an option
that does so. We change the meaning of the 'keep' state file, but are

This uncovers a bug in mailinfo -b, hence the failing test.

The keepcr flag is only used in the split_patches function, which is
only called before a patch application has to stopped for user input,
not after resuming. It is therefore unnecessary to persist the
flag. This seems to have been the case since it was introduced in

git-mailsplit, 2010-02-27).

If a file is unchanged but stat-dirty, we may erroneously
fail to apply patches, thinking that they conflict with a
dirty working tree.
This patch adds a call to "update-index --refresh". It comes
as late as possible, so that we don't bother with it for
thinks like "git rebase --abort", or when mbox-splitting
fails. However, it does come before we actually start
applying patches, meaning we will only call it once when we
start applying patches (or any time we return to "am" after
having resolved conflicts), and not once per patch.

Some web-based email clients prepend whitespace to raw message
transcripts to workaround content-sniffing in some browsers. Adjust
the patch format detection logic to ignore leading whitespace.
So now you can apply patches from GMail with "git am" in three steps:
1. choose "show original"
2. tell the browser to "save as" (for example by pressing Ctrl+S)
3. run "git am" on the saved file
This fixes a regression introduced by v1.6.4-rc0~15^2~2 (git-am
foreign patch support: autodetect some patch formats, 2009-05-27).
GMail support was first introduced to "git am" by v1.5.4-rc0~274^2
(Make mailsplit and mailinfo strip whitespace from the start of the
input, 2007-11-01).

After making commits (either by pulling or doing their own work) after a
failed "am", the user will be reminded by next "am" invocation that there
was a failed "am" that the user needs to decide to resolve or to get rid

latter. However, it rewinded the HEAD back to the beginning of the failed
