From 08b29826457ed84f02cce3d8e2a2d58e16064751 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brad King Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2010 14:41:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: cite git-am from git-apply Users reading git-apply documentation may also be interested in git-am, especially after receiving an email created with git-format-patch. The documentation for git-am already references git-apply. Add the reverse.
