[verse]
-'git-am' [--signoff] [--dotest=<dir>] [--utf8] [--binary] [--3way] <mbox>...
+'git-am' [--signoff] [--dotest=<dir>] [--utf8 | --no-utf8] [--binary] [--3way]
+ [--interactive] [--whitespace=<option>] <mbox>...
'git-am' [--skip | --resolved]
DESCRIPTION
Instead of `.dotest` directory, use <dir> as a working
area to store extracted patches.
---utf8, --keep::
- Pass `-u` and `-k` flags to `git-mailinfo` (see
+--keep::
+ Pass `-k` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]).
+
+--utf8::
+ Pass `-u` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]).
+ The proposed commit log message taken from the e-mail
+ are re-coded into UTF-8 encoding (configuration variable
+ `i18n.commitencoding` can be used to specify project's
+ preferred encoding if it is not UTF-8).
++
+This was optional in prior versions of git, but now it is the
+default. You could use `--no-utf8` to override this.
+
+--no-utf8::
+ Do not pass `-u` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see
gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]).
--binary::
Skip the current patch. This is only meaningful when
restarting an aborted patch.
+--whitespace=<option>::
+ This flag is passed to the `git-apply` program that applies
+ the patch.
+
--interactive::
Run interactively, just like git-applymbox.
