Junio C Hamano	1d8fa411e0	[PATCH] mailinfo: handle folded header. Some people split their long E-mail address over two lines using the RFC2822 header "folding". We can lose authorship information this way, so make a minimum effort to deal with it, instead of special casing only the "Subject:" field. We could teach mailsplit to unfold the folded header, but teaching mailinfo about folding would make more sense; a single message can be fed to mailinfo without going through mailsplit.

Junio C Hamano	44d2eb51b1	[PATCH] git-format-patch-script and mailinfo updates. - avoid duplicating [PATCH] in the commit message body if the original commit has it already (happens for commits done from mails via applymbox). - check if the commit author is different from the one who is running the script, and emit an appropriate "From:" and "Date: " lines to the output. - with '--date', emit "Date: " line to preserve the original author date even for the user's own commit. - teach mailinfo to grok not just "From: " but "Date: ". The patch e-mail output by format-patch starts with the first line from the original commit message, prefixed with [PATCH], and optionally a From: line if you are reformatting a patch obtained from somebody else, a Date: line from the original commit if (1) --date is specified or (2) for somebody else's patch, and the rest of the commit message body. Expected use of this is to move the title line from the commit to Subject: when sending it via an e-mail, and leave the From: and the Date: lines as the first lines of your message. The mailinfo command has been changed to read Date: (in addition to From: it already understands) and do sensible things when running applymbox.

Linus Torvalds	c5f7674a97	Prepare git-tools for merging into the main git archive Rename into a "tools" subdirectory, and change name of "dotest" to "applymbox". Remove stripspace (which was already copied into git) and cvs2git (which was likewise already copied into git, and then replaced by a much better perl version). All of this was brought on by Ryan Anderson shaming me into it. Thanks. I guess.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	fc7ef1e8ae	Add "Index: " to the list of things that start a patch This way we don't get it in the commit message, even if the patch had been generated by cogito (or CVS, ugh) and people didn't add the proper "---" marker.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	a196d8d423	Avoid doing the "filelist" thing, since "git-apply" picks up the files automatically ..and git-apply does a lot better job at it anyway. Also, we break the comment/diff on a line that starts with "diff -", not just on the "---" line. Especially for git diffs, we actually want that line in the diff. (We should probably also break on "Index: ..." followed by "=====")	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	62c1f6b4af	Get AUTHOR_DATE from the email Date: line Now that git does pretty reliable date parsing, we might as well get the date from the email itself. Of course, it's still questionable whether the date on the email is all that relevant, but it's certainly no worse than taking the commit date.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	853916ff7f	Add "applypatch" and "dotest" scripts to tie it all together. This should be getting it all pretty close to a working setup.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	2744b2344d	Start of early patch applicator tools for git. I looked a bit at my old BK tools for the same thing, but they were just so horrid in many ways that I largely rewrote it all and these tools do things a bit differently. Instead of aggressively piping data from one process to another (which was clever but very hard to follow), this first just splits out the mbox into many smaller email files, and then does some scripts on these temporary files.	20 years ago
