 git-mailinfo(1) Manual Page
 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-mailinfo -
  Extracts patch and authorship from a single e-mail message
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="para"><p><em>git mailinfo</em> [-k|-b] [-u | --encoding=&lt;encoding&gt; | -n] [--scissors] &lt;msg&gt; &lt;patch&gt;</p></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="para"><p>Reads a single e-mail message from the standard input, and
 writes the commit log message in &lt;msg&gt; file, and the patches in
 &lt;patch&gt; file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are
 written out to the standard output to be used by <em>git am</em>
 to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this
 command directly. See <a href="git-am.html">git-am(1)</a> instead.</p></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 -k
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Usually the program <em>cleans up</em> the Subject: header line
  to extract the title line for the commit log message,
  among which (1) remove <em>Re:</em> or <em>re:</em>, (2) leading
  whitespaces, (3) <em>[</em> up to <em>]</em>, typically <em>[PATCH]</em>, and
  then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
  munging, and is most useful when used to read back
  <em>git format-patch -k</em> output.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -b
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  When -k is not in effect, all leading strings bracketed with <em>[</em>
  and <em>]</em> pairs are stripped. This option limits the stripping to
  only the pairs whose bracketed string contains the word "PATCH".
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -u
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  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 the charset specified by
  i18n.commitencoding (defaulting to UTF-8) by transliterating
  them. This used to be optional but now it is the default.
 </p>
 <div class="para"><p>Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset
 conversion, even with this flag.</p></div>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --encoding=&lt;encoding&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Similar to -u. But when re-coding, the charset specified here is
  used instead of the one specified by i18n.commitencoding or UTF-8.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -n
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --scissors
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Remove everything in body before a scissors line. A line that
  mainly consists of scissors (either "&gt;8" or "8&lt;") 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.
 </p>
 <div class="para"><p>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.</p></div>
 <div class="para"><p>This can enabled by default with the configuration option mailinfo.scissors.</p></div>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --no-scissors
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Ignore scissors lines. Useful for overriding mailinfo.scissors settings.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;msg&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually
  except the title line which comes from e-mail Subject.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;patch&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  The patch extracted from e-mail.
 </p>
 </dd>
