| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| [verse] | |
| 'git quiltimport' [--dry-run] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>] | |
| DESCRIPTION | |
| ----------- | |
| Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving | |
| the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present | |
| in the quilt patchset. | |
| For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the | |
| patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author | |
| specified with --author. If the --author flag was not given | |
| the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to | |
| interactively enter the author of the patch. | |
| If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is | |
| preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description. | |
| OPTIONS | |
| ------- | |
| -n:: | |
| --dry-run:: | |
| Walk through the patches in the series and warn | |
| if we cannot find all of the necessary information to commit | |
| a patch. At the time of this writing only missing author | |
| information is warned about. | |
| --author Author Name <Author Email>:: | |
| The author name and email address to use when no author | |
| information can be found in the patch description. | |
| --patches <dir>:: | |
| The directory to find the quilt patches and the | |
| quilt series file. | |
