   8SYNOPSIS
   9--------
  10'git mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] -o<directory> [--] [<mbox>|<Maildir>...]
  11
  12DESCRIPTION
  13-----------
  14Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" ..  in the
  15specified directory so you can process them further from there.
  16
  17IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
  18patches in the correct order.

  20OPTIONS
  21-------
  22<mbox>::
  23        Mbox file to split.  If not given, the mbox is read from
  24        the standard input.
  25
  26<Maildir>::
  27        Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp
  28        and new subdirectories.
  29
  30-o<directory>::
  31        Directory in which to place the individual messages.
  32
  33-b::
  34        If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
  35        single mail message instead of signaling error.
  36
  37-d<prec>::
  38        Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
  39        different precision can be specified for the generated
  40        filenames.
  41
  42-f<nn>::
  43        Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
  44        start the numbering with 0004.
  45
  46--keep-cr::
  47        Do not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`.
