| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>The commit author name is taken from the "From: " line of the | |
| message, and commit author date is taken from the "Date: " line | |
| of the message. The "Subject: " line is used as the title of | |
| the commit, after stripping common prefix "[PATCH <anything>]". | |
| The "Subject: " line is supposed to concisely describe what the | |
| commit is about in one line of text.</p></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>"From: " and "Subject: " lines starting the body override the respective | |
| commit author name and title values taken from the headers.</p></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>The commit message is formed by the title taken from the | |
| "Subject: ", a blank line and the body of the message up to | |
| where the patch begins. Excess whitespace at the end of each | |
| line is automatically stripped.</p></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>The patch is expected to be inline, directly following the | |
| message. Any line that is of the form:</p></div> | |
| <div class="ulist"><ul> | |
| <li> | |
| <p> | |
| three-dashes and end-of-line, or | |
| </p> | |
| </li> | |
| <li> | |
| <p> | |
| a line that begins with "diff -", or | |
| </p> | |
| </li> | |
| <li> | |
| <p> | |
| a line that begins with "Index: " | |
| </p> | |
| </li> | |
| </ul></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>is taken as the beginning of a patch, and the commit log message | |
| is terminated before the first occurrence of such a line.</p></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>When initially invoking <tt>git am</tt>, you give it the names of the mailboxes | |
| to process. Upon seeing the first patch that does not apply, it | |
| aborts in the middle. You can recover from this in one of two ways:</p></div> | |
| <div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic"> | |
| <li> | |
| <p> | |
| skip the current patch by re-running the command with the <em>--skip</em> | |
| option. | |
| </p> | |
| </li> | |
| <li> | |
| <p> | |
| hand resolve the conflict in the working directory, and update | |
| the index file to bring it into a state that the patch should | |
| have produced. Then run the command with the <em>--resolved</em> option. | |
| </p> | |
| </li> | |
| </ol></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>The command refuses to process new mailboxes until the current | |
| operation is finished, so if you decide to start over from scratch, | |
| run <tt>git am --abort</tt> before running the command with mailbox | |
| names.</p></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>Before any patches are applied, ORIG_HEAD is set to the tip of the | |
| current branch. This is useful if you have problems with multiple | |
| commits, like running <em>git am</em> on the wrong branch or an error in the | |
| commits that is more easily fixed by changing the mailbox (e.g. | |
| errors in the "From:" lines).</p></div> | |
