-'git-applymbox' [-u] [-k] [-q] ( -c .dotest/<num> | <mbox> ) [ <signoff> ]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
-q::
Apply patches interactively. The user will be given
opportunity to edit the log message and the patch before
- attempting to apply patch in each e-mail message.
+ attempting to apply it.
-k::
Usually the program 'cleans up' the Subject: header line
whitespaces, (3) '[' up to ']', typically '[PATCH]', and
then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
munging, and is most useful when used to read back 'git
- format-patch --mbox' output.
+ format-patch -k' output.
+
+-m::
+ Patches are applied with `git-apply` command, and unless
+ it cleanly applies without fuzz, the processing fails.
+ With this flag, if a tree that the patch applies cleanly
+ is found in a repository, the patch is applied to the
+ tree and then a 3-way merge between the resulting tree
+ and the current tree.
-u::
- By default, the commit log message, author name and
- author email are taken from the e-mail without any
- charset conversion, after minimally decoding MIME
- transfer encoding. This flag causes the resulting
- commit to be encoded in utf-8 by transliterating them.
- Note that the patch is always used as is without charset
- conversion, even with this flag.
+ 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 used to be
+ optional but now it is the default.
++
+Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset
+conversion, even with this flag.
+
+-n::
+ Pass `-n` flag to `git-mailinfo` (see
+ gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]).
