| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git quiltimport' [--dry-run | -n] [--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. |
