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