DESCRIPTION
-----------
it is supposed to apply to, and we have those blobs
available locally.
--b::
---binary::
- Pass `--allow-binary-replacement` flag to 'git-apply'
- (see linkgit:git-apply[1]).
-
--whitespace=<option>::
- This flag is passed to the 'git-apply' (see linkgit:git-apply[1])
- program that applies
- the patch.
-
-C<n>::
-p<n>::
+--directory=<dir>::
+--reject::
These flags are passed to the 'git-apply' (see linkgit:git-apply[1])
program that applies
the patch.
--interactive::
Run interactively.
+--committer-date-is-author-date::
+ By default the command records the date from the e-mail
+ message as the commit author date, and uses the time of
+ commit creation as the committer date. This allows the
+ user to lie about the committer date by using the same
+ timestamp as the author date.
+
+--ignore-date::
+ By default the command records the date from the e-mail
+ message as the commit author date, and uses the time of
+ commit creation as the committer date. This allows the
+ user to lie about author timestamp by using the same
+ timestamp as the committer date.
+
--skip::
Skip the current patch. This is only meaningful when
restarting an aborted patch.
or `--skip` to handle the failure. This is solely
for internal use between 'git-rebase' and 'git-am'.
+--abort::
+ Restore the original branch and abort the patching operation.

DISCUSSION
----------
the index file to bring it in a state that the patch should
have produced. Then run the command with '--resolved' option.
-The command refuses to process new mailboxes while `.dotest`
+The command refuses to process new mailboxes while `.git/rebase-apply`
directory exists, so if you decide to start over from scratch,
-run `rm -f -r .dotest` before running the command with mailbox
+run `rm -f -r .git/rebase-apply` before running the command with mailbox
names.
+Before any patches are applied, ORIG_HEAD is set to the tip of the
+current branch. This is useful if you have problems with multiple
+commits, like running 'git am' on the wrong branch or an error in the
+commits that is more easily fixed by changing the mailbox (e.g.
+errors in the "From:" lines).
