NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

9       git quiltimport [--dry-run | -n] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving the
14       patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present in the
15       quilt patchset.
16
17       For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the patch
18       description. If that fails it falls back to the author specified with
19       --author. If the --author flag was not given the patch description is
20       displayed and the user is asked to interactively enter the author of
21       the patch.
22
23       If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is
24       preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description.
25
