The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

NAME

----
|
|
git-mailinfo - Extracts patch and authorship from a single e-mail message
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git mailinfo' [-k|-b] [-u | --encoding=<encoding> | -n] [--scissors] <msg> <patch>
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reads 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
|
|
written out to the standard output to be used by 'git am'
|
|
to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this
|
|
command directly. See linkgit:git-am[1] instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-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
|
|
munging, and is most useful when used to read back
|
|
'git format-patch -k' output.
|
|
|
|
-b::
|
|
When -k is not in effect, all leading strings bracketed with '['
|
|
and ']' pairs are stripped. This option limits the stripping to
|
|
only the pairs whose bracketed string contains the word "PATCH".
|
|
|
|
-u::
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata.
|
|
|
|
--scissors::
|
|
Remove everything in body before a scissors line. A line that
|
|
mainly consists of scissors (either ">8" or "8<") and perforation
|
|
(dash "-") marks is called a scissors line, and is used to request
|
|
the reader to cut the message at that line. If such a line
|
|
appears in the body of the message before the patch, everything
|
|
before it (including the scissors line itself) is ignored when
|
|
this option is used.
|
|
+
|
|
This is useful if you want to begin your message in a discussion thread
|
|
with comments and suggestions on the message you are responding to, and to
|
|
conclude it with a patch submission, separating the discussion and the
|
|
beginning of the proposed commit log message with a scissors line.
|
|
+
|
|
This can enabled by default with the configuration option mailinfo.scissors.
|
|
|
|
--no-scissors::
|
|
Ignore scissors lines. Useful for overriding mailinfo.scissors settings.
|
|
|
|
<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.
