DESCRIPTION
-----------
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`
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` 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).
