DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
2005-08-30 00:21:06 +00:00
|
|
|
Reading a single e-mail message from the standard input, and
|
|
|
|
writes the commit log message in <msg> file, and the patches in
|
|
|
|
<patch> file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are
|
2008-07-03 05:41:41 +00:00
|
|
|
written out to the standard output to be used by 'git-am'
|
2005-08-30 00:21:06 +00:00
|
|
|
to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this
|
2007-12-29 06:20:38 +00:00
|
|
|
command directly. See linkgit:git-am[1] instead.

OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
-------
|
2005-08-30 00:21:06 +00:00
|
|
|
-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
|
2008-06-30 22:17:07 +00:00
|
|
|
munging, and is most useful when used to read back
|
2008-07-03 05:41:41 +00:00
|
|
|
'git-format-patch -k' output.
|
2005-08-30 00:21:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-u::
|
2007-01-10 05:31:36 +00:00
|
|
|
The commit log message, author name and author email are
|
|
|
|
taken from the e-mail, and after minimally decoding MIME
|
|
|
|
transfer encoding, re-coded in UTF-8 by transliterating
|
|
|
|
them. This used to be optional but now it is the default.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset
|
|
|
|
conversion, even with this flag.

|
|
2005-11-28 09:29:52 +00:00
|
|
|
--encoding=<encoding>::
|
|
|
|
Similar to -u but if the local convention is different
|
|
|
|
from what is specified by i18n.commitencoding, this flag
|
|
|
|
can be used to override it.
|
|
|
|
|
2008-07-10 21:36:28 +00:00
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
|
|
Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata.
|
|
|
|
|
2005-08-30 00:21:06 +00:00
|
|
|
<msg>::
|
|
|
|
The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually
|
|
|
|
except the title line which comes from e-mail Subject.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<patch>::
|
|
|
|
The patch extracted from e-mail.
