328 writes the commit log message in

330 written out to the standard output to be used by
<em>git am
</em>
331 to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this
332 command directly. See

342 Usually the program
<em>cleans up
</em> the Subject: header line
343 to extract the title line for the commit log message,
344 among which (
1) remove
<em>Re:
</em> or
<em>re:
</em>, (
2) leading
345 whitespaces, (
3)
<em>[
</em> up to
<em>]
</em>, typically
<em>[PATCH]
</em>, and
346 then prepends
"[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
347 munging, and is most useful when used to read back
348 <em>git format-patch -k
</em> output.
356 When -k is not in effect, all leading strings bracketed with
<em>[
</em>
357 and
<em>]
</em> pairs are stripped. This option limits the stripping to
358 only the pairs whose bracketed string contains the word
"PATCH".
366 The commit log message, author name and author email are
367 taken from the e-mail, and after minimally decoding MIME
368 transfer encoding, re-coded in UTF-
8 by transliterating
369 them. This used to be optional but now it is the default.
371 <div class=
"para"><p>Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset
372 conversion, even with this flag.
</p></div>
375 --encoding=
<encoding
>
379 Similar to -u but if the local convention is different
380 from what is specified by i18n.commitencoding, this flag
381 can be used to override it.
389 Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata.
397 Remove everything in body before a scissors line. A line that
398 mainly consists of scissors (either
">8" or
"8<") and perforation
399 (dash
"-") marks is called a scissors line, and is used to request
400 the reader to cut the message at that line. If such a line
401 appears in the body of the message before the patch, everything
402 before it (including the scissors line itself) is ignored when
405 <div class=
"para"><p>This is useful if you want to begin your message in a discussion thread
406 with comments and suggestions on the message you are responding to, and to
407 conclude it with a patch submission, separating the discussion and the
408 beginning of the proposed commit log message with a scissors line.
</p></div>
409 <div class=
"para"><p>This can enabled by default with the configuration option mailinfo.scissors.
</p></div>
416 Ignore scissors lines. Useful for overriding mailinfo.scissors settings.
424 The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually
425 except the title line which comes from e-mail Subject.
433 The patch extracted from e-mail.
