22 git-quiltimport \- Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
26 \fIgit\-quiltimport\fR [\-\-dry\-run] [\-\-author <author>] [\-\-patches <dir>]
32 Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present in the quilt patchset\&.
35 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\&.
38 If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description\&.
44 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\&.
47 \-\-author Author Name <Author Email>
48 The author name and email address to use when no author information can be found in the patch description\&.
52 The directory to find the quilt patches and the quilt series file\&.
55 The default for the patch directory is patches
56 or the value of the $QUILT_PATCHES environment
