DISCUSSION
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
The commit author name is taken from the "From: " line of the
|
||||
message, and commit author time is taken from the "Date: " line
|
||||
of the message. The "Subject: " line is used as the title of
|
||||
the commit, after stripping common prefix "[PATCH <anything>]".
|
||||
It is supposed to describe what the commit is about concisely as
|
||||
a one line text.
|
||||
|
||||
The body of the message (iow, after a blank line that terminates
|
||||
RFC2822 headers) can begin with "Subject: " and "From: " lines
|
||||
that are different from those of the mail header, to override
|
||||
the values of these fields.
|
||||
|
||||
The commit message is formed by the title taken from the
|
||||
"Subject: ", a blank line and the body of the message up to
|
||||
where the patch begins. Excess whitespaces at the end of the
|
||||
lines are automatically stripped.
|
||||
|
||||
The patch is expected to be inline, directly following the
|
||||
message. Any line that is of form:
|
||||
|
||||
* three-dashes and end-of-line, or
|
||||
* a line that begins with "diff -", or
|
||||
* a line that begins with "Index: "
|
||||
|
||||
is taken as the beginning of a patch, and the commit log message
|
||||
is terminated before the first occurrence of such a line.
|
||||
|
||||
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
