NAME

6       git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
7

SYNOPSIS

9           git-quiltimport [--dry-run] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving the
13       patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present in the
14       quilt patchset.
15
16       For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the patch
17       description. If that fails it falls back to the author specified with
18       --author. If the --author flag was not given the patch description is
19       displayed and the user is asked to interactively enter the author of
20       the patch.
21
22       If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is
23       preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description.
