421 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Reads a single e-mail message from the standard input, and
422 writes the commit log message in
<msg
> file, and the patches in
423 <patch
> file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are
424 written out to the standard output to be used by
<em>git am
</em>
425 to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this
426 command directly. See
<a href=
"git-am.html">git-am(
1)
</a> instead.

429 <div class=

430 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
436 Usually the program
<em>cleans up
</em> the Subject: header line
437 to extract the title line for the commit log message,
438 among which (
1) remove
<em>Re:
</em> or
<em>re:
</em>, (
2) leading
439 whitespaces, (
3)
<em>[
</em> up to
<em>]
</em>, typically
<em>[PATCH]
</em>, and
440 then prepends
"[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
441 munging, and is most useful when used to read back
442 <em>git format-patch -k
</em> output.
450 When -k is not in effect, all leading strings bracketed with
<em>[
</em>
451 and
<em>]
</em> pairs are stripped. This option limits the stripping to
452 only the pairs whose bracketed string contains the word
"PATCH".
460 The commit log message, author name and author email are
461 taken from the e-mail, and after minimally decoding MIME
462 transfer encoding, re-coded in the charset specified by
463 i18n.commitencoding (defaulting to UTF-
8) by transliterating
464 them. This used to be optional but now it is the default.
466 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset
467 conversion, even with this flag.
</p></div>
470 --encoding=
<encoding
>
474 Similar to -u. But when re-coding, the charset specified here is
475 used instead of the one specified by i18n.commitencoding or UTF-
8.
483 Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata.
491 Remove everything in body before a scissors line. A line that
492 mainly consists of scissors (either
">8" or
"8<") and perforation
493 (dash
"-") marks is called a scissors line, and is used to request
494 the reader to cut the message at that line. If such a line
495 appears in the body of the message before the patch, everything
496 before it (including the scissors line itself) is ignored when
499 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>This is useful if you want to begin your message in a discussion thread
500 with comments and suggestions on the message you are responding to, and to
501 conclude it with a patch submission, separating the discussion and the
502 beginning of the proposed commit log message with a scissors line.
</p></div>
503 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>This can enabled by default with the configuration option mailinfo.scissors.
</p></div>
510 Ignore scissors lines. Useful for overriding mailinfo.scissors settings.
518 The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually
519 except the title line which comes from e-mail Subject.
