This reverts commit 6e9e0327b7. People
can prepare a text file with Subject: and From: headers and feed it to
"am" (pretending the file is a piece of e-mail), and have actually been
doing so. Strict checking for Date: breaks this established workflow,
which wants to record the time of the commit as the author time.
Thanks go to Jens Axboe for injection of sanity.

When you have a file called HEAD in your work tree, many commands that
our scripts feed "HEAD" to would complain about the rev vs path
ambiguity. A solution is to form command line more carefully by
appending -- to them, which makes it clear that we mean HEAD rev not
HEAD file.
This patch would apply to maint.

git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions
of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive
three-way merge.
This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index
information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in
the current repository.
Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an
index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it
themselves.
The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to
use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with
while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac
and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.
A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.

Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory
.git/rr-cache. That is definitely not in line with most other
features, which are enabled by a config variable.
So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set
to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if
.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
rerere temporarily.
If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection
of the directory .git/rr-cache.

Under some implementations of echo (such as that provided by
dash), backslash escapes are recognized without any other
options. This means that echo-ing user-supplied strings may
cause any backslash sequences in them to be converted. Using
printf resolves the ambiguity.
This bug can be seen when using git-am to apply a patch
whose subject contains the character sequence "\n"; the
characters are converted to a literal newline. Noticed by

I am working on a project that required parsing through regular
mboxes that didn't necessarily have patches embedded in them. I
started by creating my own modified copy of git-am and working
from there. Very quickly, I noticed git-mailinfo wasn't able to
handle a big chunk of my email.
After hacking up numerous solutions and running into more
limitations, I decided it was just easier to rewrite a big chunk
of it. The following patch has a bunch of fixes and features
that I needed in order for me do what I wanted.
Note: I'm didn't follow any email rfc papers but I don't think
any of the changes I did required much knowledge (besides the
boundary stuff).
List of major changes/fixes:
- can't create empty patch files fix
- empty patch files don't fail, this failure will come inside git-am
- multipart boundaries are now handled
- only output inbody headers if a patch exists otherwise assume those
headers are part of the reply and instead output the original headers
- decode and filter base64 patches correctly
- various other accidental fixes
I believe I didn't break any existing functionality or
compatibility (other than what I describe above, which is really
only the empty patch file).
I tested this through various mailing list archives and
everything seemed to parse correctly (a couple thousand emails).

When the blobs recorded on the index lines in the patch as pre-image
blobs are not found in the repository, "git-am" punted saying
that the index line does not record anything useful. This was not

problem was that it was not useful in _that_ repository.

If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires
a working directory in a bare repository they may get unexpected
results which are difficult to predict and may differ from command
to command.
Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare
repository and refuse to run the command there, as there is no
working directory associated with it.

Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter
was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code
needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to
ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and
not the lower-level actions it invoked.
At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action
function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on
what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only
takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
environment variable.

Data in rr-cache isn't valid after a patch application is

as a resolution of that skipped/failed commit, which is wrong.
git-am --skip, git-rebase --skip/--abort will automatically
invoke git-rerere clear to avoid this.
Also, since git-am --resolved indicates a resolution was
succesful, remember to run git-rerere to record the resolution
(and not surprise the user when the next commit is made).

An earlier commit cbd64af added a check that prevents "git-am"
to run without its standard input connected to a terminal while
resuming operation. This was to catch a user error to try
feeding a new patch from its standard input while recovery.
The assumption of the check was that it is an indication that a
new patch is being fed if the standard input is not connected to
a terminal. It is however not quite correct (the standard input
can be /dev/null if the user knows the operation does not need
any input, for example). This broke t3403 when the test was run
with its standard input connected to /dev/null.
When git-am is given an explicit command such as --skip, there
is no reason to insist that the standard input is a terminal; we
are not going to read a new patch anyway.
Credit goes to Gerrit Pape for noticing and reporting the
problem with t3403-rebase-skip test.

# git reset --hard
# git format-patch -k -3 master..ok | git am -k -3
