NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-mailinfo - Extracts patch and authorship from a single e-mail message |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git mailinfo' [-k|-b] [-u | --encoding=<encoding> | -n] |
|
[--[no-]scissors] [--quoted-cr=<action>] |
|
<msg> <patch> |
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
Reads a single e-mail message from the standard input, and |
|
writes the commit log message in <msg> file, and the patches in |
|
<patch> file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are |
|
written out to the standard output to be used by 'git am' |
|
to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this |
|
command directly. See linkgit:git-am[1] instead. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
-k:: |
|
Usually the program removes email cruft from the Subject: |
|
header line to extract the title line for the commit log |
|
message. This option prevents this munging, and is most |
|
useful when used to read back 'git format-patch -k' output. |
|
+ |
|
Specifically, the following are removed until none of them remain: |
|
+ |
|
-- |
|
* Leading and trailing whitespace. |
|
|
|
* Leading `Re:`, `re:`, and `:`. |
|
|
|
* Leading bracketed strings (between `[` and `]`, usually |
|
`[PATCH]`). |
|
-- |
|
+ |
|
Finally, runs of whitespace are normalized to a single ASCII space |
|
character. |
|
|
|
-b:: |
|
When -k is not in effect, all leading strings bracketed with '[' |
|
and ']' pairs are stripped. This option limits the stripping to |
|
only the pairs whose bracketed string contains the word "PATCH". |
|
|
|
-u:: |
|
The commit log message, author name and author email are |
|
taken from the e-mail, and after minimally decoding MIME |
|
transfer encoding, re-coded in the charset specified by |
|
`i18n.commitEncoding` (defaulting to UTF-8) by transliterating |
|
them. 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. |
|
|
|
--encoding=<encoding>:: |
|
Similar to -u. But when re-coding, the charset specified here is |
|
used instead of the one specified by `i18n.commitEncoding` or UTF-8. |
|
|
|
-n:: |
|
Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata. |
|
|
|
-m:: |
|
--message-id:: |
|
Copy the Message-ID header at the end of the commit message. This |
|
is useful in order to associate commits with mailing list discussions. |
|
|
|
--scissors:: |
|
Remove everything in body before a scissors line (e.g. "-- >8 --"). |
|
The line represents scissors and perforation marks, and is used to |
|
request the reader to cut the message at that line. If that line |
|
appears in the body of the message before the patch, everything |
|
before it (including the scissors line itself) is ignored when |
|
this option is used. |
|
+ |
|
This is useful if you want to begin your message in a discussion thread |
|
with comments and suggestions on the message you are responding to, and to |
|
conclude it with a patch submission, separating the discussion and the |
|
beginning of the proposed commit log message with a scissors line. |
|
+ |
|
This can be enabled by default with the configuration option mailinfo.scissors. |
|
|
|
--no-scissors:: |
|
Ignore scissors lines. Useful for overriding mailinfo.scissors settings. |
|
|
|
--quoted-cr=<action>:: |
|
Action when processes email messages sent with base64 or |
|
quoted-printable encoding, and the decoded lines end with a CRLF |
|
instead of a simple LF. |
|
+ |
|
The valid actions are: |
|
+ |
|
-- |
|
* `nowarn`: Git will do nothing when such a CRLF is found. |
|
* `warn`: Git will issue a warning for each message if such a CRLF is |
|
found. |
|
* `strip`: Git will convert those CRLF to LF. |
|
-- |
|
+ |
|
The default action could be set by configuration option `mailinfo.quotedCR`. |
|
If no such configuration option has been set, `warn` will be used. |
|
|
|
<msg>:: |
|
The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually |
|
except the title line which comes from e-mail Subject. |
|
|
|
<patch>:: |
|
The patch extracted from e-mail. |
