Revision 346b54dbc92bb3c928d326da9d8addf5eb50acce authored by Elia Pinto on 16 April 2014, 17:29:49 UTC, committed by Junio C Hamano on 17 April 2014, 18:14:59 UTC
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX.  However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly.  In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

The patch was generated by:

for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
   sed -i 's@`\(.*\)`@$(\1)@g' ${_f}
done

and then carefully proof-read.

NAME
----
git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git quiltimport' [--dry-run | -n] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>]


DESCRIPTION
-----------
Applies a quilt patchset onto the current Git branch, preserving
the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present
in the quilt patchset.

For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the
patch description.  If that fails it falls back to the author
specified with --author.  If the --author flag was not given
the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to
interactively enter the author of the patch.

If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is
preserved as the 1 line subject in the Git description.

OPTIONS
-------

-n::
--dry-run::
	Walk through the patches in the series and warn
	if we cannot find all of the necessary information to commit
	a patch.  At the time of this writing only missing author
	information is warned about.

--author Author Name <Author Email>::
	The author name and email address to use when no author
	information can be found in the patch description.

--patches <dir>::
	The directory to find the quilt patches and the
	quilt series file.
+
The default for the patch directory is patches
