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. - -<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. - -GIT ---- -Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
