 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
+This is usually not what an end user wants to run directly.  See
+gitlink:git-am[1] instead.

 Takes three files <msg>, <patch>, and <info> prepared from an
 e-mail message by 'git-mailinfo', and creates a commit.  It is
 usually not necessary to use this command directly.
