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

The author name and email address to use when no author | |
information can be found in the patch description. | |
