After git-apply fails, attempt to find a base tree that the patch cleanly applies to, and do a three-way merge using that base tree into the current index, if .dotest/.3way file exists. This flag can be controlled by giving -m flag to git-applymbox command. When the fall-back merge fails, the working tree can be resolved the same way as you would normally hand resolve a conflicting merge. When making commit, use .dotest/final-commit as the log message template. Or you could just choose to 'git-checkout-index -f -a' to revert the failed merge.

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-applymbox - Apply a series of patches in a mailbox
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-applymbox' [-u] [-k] [-q] [-m] ( -c .dotest/<num> | <mbox> ) [ <signoff> ]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Splits mail messages in a mailbox into commit log message,
|
|
authorship information and patches, and applies them to the
|
|
current branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-q::
|
|
Apply patches interactively. The user will be given
|
|
opportunity to edit the log message and the patch before
|
|
attempting to apply it.
|
|
|
|
-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 --mbox' output.
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
Patches are applied with `git-apply` command, and unless
|
|
it cleanly applies without fuzz, the processing fails.
|
|
With this flag, if a tree that the patch applies cleanly
|
|
is found in a repository, the patch is applied to the
|
|
tree and then a 3-way merge between the resulting tree
|
|
and the current tree.
|
|
|
|
-u::
|
|
By default, the commit log message, author name and
|
|
author email are taken from the e-mail without any
|
|
charset conversion, after minimally decoding MIME
|
|
transfer encoding. This flag causes the resulting
|
|
commit to be encoded in utf-8 by transliterating them.
|
|
Note that the patch is always used as is without charset
|
|
conversion, even with this flag.
|
|
|
|
-c .dotest/<num>::
|
|
When the patch contained in an e-mail does not cleanly
|
|
apply, the command exits with an error message. The
|
|
patch and extracted message are found in .dotest/, and
|
|
you could re-run 'git applymbox' with '-c .dotest/<num>'
|
|
flag to restart the process after inspecting and fixing
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
<mbox>::
|
|
The name of the file that contains the e-mail messages
|
|
with patches. This file should be in the UNIX mailbox
|
|
format. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn about
|
|
the formatting convention for e-mail submission.
|
|
|
|
<signoff>::
|
|
The name of the file that contains your "Signed-off-by"
|
|
line. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn what
|
|
"Signed-off-by" line means. You can also just say
|
|
'yes', 'true', 'me', or 'please' to use an automatically
|
|
generated "Signed-off-by" line based on your committer
|
|
identity.
