DESCRIPTION
-----------
supply this argument, reads from the standard input. If you supply
directories, they'll be treated as Maildirs.
--s, --signoff::
+-s::
+--signoff::
Add `Signed-off-by:` line to the commit message, using
the committer identity of yourself.
--k, --keep::
- Pass `-k` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]).
+-k::
+--keep::
+ Pass `-k` flag to 'git-mailinfo' (see linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]).
--u, --utf8::
- Pass `-u` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]).
+-u::
+--utf8::
+ Pass `-u` flag to 'git-mailinfo' (see linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]).
The proposed commit log message taken from the e-mail
is re-coded into UTF-8 encoding (configuration variable
`i18n.commitencoding` can be used to specify project's
default. You could use `--no-utf8` to override this.
--no-utf8::
- Pass `-n` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see
+ Pass `-n` flag to 'git-mailinfo' (see
linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]).
--3, --3way::
+-3::
+--3way::
When the patch does not apply cleanly, fall back on
3-way merge, if the patch records the identity of blobs
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>::
- These flags are passed to the `git-apply` (see linkgit:git-apply[1])
+-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.
--i, --interactive::
+-i::
+--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.
--r, --resolved::
+-r::
+--resolved::
After a patch failure (e.g. attempting to apply
conflicting patch), the user has applied it by hand and
the index file stores the result of the application.
to the screen before exiting. This overrides the
standard message informing you to use `--resolved`
or `--skip` to handle the failure. This is solely
- for internal use between `git-rebase` and `git-am`.
+ 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).
