| ================== | |
| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| [verse] | |
| 'git quiltimport' [--dry-run | -n] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>] | |
| [--series <file>] [--keep-non-patch] | |
| 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. | |
