6 git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
12 'git quiltimport' [--dry-run | -n] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>]
18 Applies a quilt patchset onto the current Git branch, preserving
19 the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present
20 in the quilt patchset.
22 For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the
23 patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author
24 specified with --author. If the --author flag was not given
25 the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to
26 interactively enter the author of the patch.
28 If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is
29 preserved as the 1 line subject in the Git description.
36 Walk through the patches in the series and warn
37 if we cannot find all of the necessary information to commit
38 a patch. At the time of this writing only missing author
39 information is warned about.
41 --author Author Name <Author Email>::
42 The author name and email address to use when no author
43 information can be found in the patch description.
46 The directory to find the quilt patches.
48 The default for the patch directory is patches
49 or the value of the `$QUILT_PATCHES` environment
53 The quilt series file.
55 The default for the series file is <patches>/series
56 or the value of the `$QUILT_SERIES` environment
