+NAME
+----
+git-mailsplit - Totally braindamaged mbox splitter program
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] -o<directory> [--] [<mbox>...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Splits a mbox file into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the specified
+directory so you can process them further from there.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+<mbox>::
+ Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from
+ the standard input.
+
+<directory>::
+ Directory in which to place the individual messages.
+
+-b::
+ If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
+ single mail message instead of signalling error.
+
+-d<prec>::
+ Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
+ different precision can be specified for the generated
+ filenames.
+
+-f<nn>::
+ Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
+ start the numbering with 0004.
