GIT-MAILINFO(1)			  Git Manual		       GIT-MAILINFO(1)

NAME
       git-mailinfo - Extracts patch and authorship from a single e-mail
       message

SYNOPSIS
       git mailinfo [-k|-b] [-u | --encoding=<encoding> | -n] [--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 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.

	   --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 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.
