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] <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. 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 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.
