| 4 | NAME |
| 5 | ---- |
| 6 | git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 9 | SYNOPSIS |
| 10 | -------- |
| 11 | [verse] |
| 12 | 'git-quiltimport' [--dry-run] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | |
| 15 | DESCRIPTION |
| 16 | ----------- |
| 17 | Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving |
| 18 | the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present |
| 19 | in the quilt patchset. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the |
| 22 | patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author |
| 23 | specified with --author. If the --author flag was not given |
| 24 | the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to |
| 25 | interactively enter the author of the patch. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is |
| 28 | preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | OPTIONS |
| 31 | ------- |
| 32 | --dry-run:: |
| 33 | Walk through the patches in the series and warn |
| 34 | if we cannot find all of the necessary information to commit |
| 35 | a patch. At the time of this writing only missing author |
| 36 | information is warned about. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | --author Author Name <Author Email>:: |
| 39 | The author name and email address to use when no author |
| 40 | information can be found in the patch description. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | --patches <dir>:: |
