31 git-quiltimport \- Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
35 \fIgit quiltimport\fR [\-\-dry\-run | \-n] [\-\-author <author>] [\-\-patches <dir>]

41 Applies a quilt patchset onto the current Git branch, preserving the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present in the quilt patchset\&.
43 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\&.
45 If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is preserved as the 1 line subject in the Git description\&.
50 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\&.
53 \-\-author Author Name <Author Email>
55 The author name and email address to use when no author information can be found in the patch description\&.
60 The directory to find the quilt patches\&.
62 The default for the patch directory is patches or the value of the
64 environment variable\&.
69 The quilt series file\&.
71 The default for the series file is <patches>/series or the value of the
73 environment variable\&.
