DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
2005-09-08 06:04:52 +00:00
|
|
|
Prepare each commit with its patch since <mine> head forked from
|
|
|
|
<his> head, one file per patch, for e-mail submission. Each
|
|
|
|
output file is numbered sequentially from 1, and uses the first
|
|
|
|
line of the commit message (massaged for pathname safety) as the
|
|
|
|
filename.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When -o is specified, output files are created in that
|
|
|
|
directory; otherwise in the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When -n is specified, instead of "[PATCH] Subject", the first
|
|
|
|
line is formatted as "[PATCH N/M] Subject", unless you have only
|
|
|
|
one patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When --mbox is specified, the output is formatted to resemble
|
|
|
|
UNIX mailbox format, and can be concatenated together for
|
|
|
|
processing with applymbox.

|
|
|
