| 9 | SYNOPSIS |
| 10 | -------- |
| 11 | [verse] |
| 12 | 'git quiltimport' [--dry-run | -n] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>] |
| 13 | [--series <file>] [--keep-non-patch] |
| 14 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 | DESCRIPTION |
| 17 | ----------- |
| 18 | Applies a quilt patchset onto the current Git branch, preserving |
| 19 | the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present |
| 20 | in the quilt patchset. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the |
| 23 | patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author |
| 24 | specified with --author. If the --author flag was not given |
| 25 | the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to |
| 26 | interactively enter the author of the patch. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is |
| 29 | preserved as the 1 line subject in the Git description. |
