The user will be given - opportunity to edit the log message and the patch before - attempting to apply it. - --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. - --m:: - Patches are applied with `git-apply` command, and unless - it cleanly applies without fuzz, the processing fails. - With this flag, if a tree that the patch applies cleanly - is found in a repository, the patch is applied to the - tree and then a 3-way merge between the resulting tree - and the current tree. - --u:: - Pass `-u` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]). - The proposed commit log message taken from the e-mail - are re-coded into UTF-8 encoding (configuration variable - `i18n.commitencoding` can be used to specify project's - preferred encoding if it is not UTF-8). 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. - --n:: - Pass `-n` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see - gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]). - --c .dotest/<num>:: - When the patch contained in an e-mail does not cleanly - apply, the command exits with an error message. The - patch and extracted message are found in .dotest/, and - you could re-run 'git applymbox' with '-c .dotest/<num>' - flag to restart the process after inspecting and fixing - them. - -<mbox>:: - The name of the file that contains the e-mail messages - with patches. This file should be in the UNIX mailbox - format. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn about - the formatting convention for e-mail submission. - -<signoff>:: - The name of the file that contains your "Signed-off-by" - line. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn what - "Signed-off-by" line means. You can also just say - 'yes', 'true', 'me', or 'please' to use an automatically - generated "Signed-off-by" line based on your committer - identity. - - -SEE ALSO --------- -gitlink:git-am[1], gitlink:git-applypatch[1]. - - -Author ------- -Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> - -Documentation --------------- -Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. - -GIT ---- -Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite - |
