The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are +written out to the standard output to be used by git-applypatch +to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this +command directly. + + +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 --mbox' output. + +-u:: + By default, the commit log message, author name and + author email are taken from the e-mail without any + charset conversion, after minimally decoding MIME + transfer encoding. This flag causes the resulting + commit to be encoded in the encoding specified by + i18n.commitencoding configuration (defaults to utf-8) by + transliterating them. + 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. + +<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. + + +Author +------ +Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> and +Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> + + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite +
