git-mailinfo(1) |
|
=============== |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-mailinfo - Extracts patch and authorship from a single e-mail message |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git mailinfo' [-k|-b] [-u | --encoding=<encoding> | -n] [--scissors] <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 'cleans up' the Subject: header line |
|
to extract the title line for the commit log message, |
|
among which (1) remove 'Re:' or 're:', (2) leading |
|
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 -k' output. |
|
|
|
-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 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 if the local convention is different |
|
from what is specified by i18n.commitencoding, this flag |
|
can be used to override it. |
|
|
|
-n:: |
|
Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata. |
|
|
|
--scissors:: |
|
Remove everything in body before a scissors line. A line that |
|
mainly consists of scissors (either ">8" or "8<") and perforation |
|
(dash "-") marks is called a scissors line, and is used to request |
|
the reader to cut the message at that line. If such a 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 enabled by default with the configuration option mailinfo.scissors. |
|
|
|
--no-scissors:: |
|
Ignore scissors lines. Useful for overriding mailinfo.scissors settings. |
|
|
|
<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. |
