Then it should preserve your long subject line just fine, as mailsplit (called by "am") will reassemble the folded line according to rfc822 header folding rules. With "am -k", it does keep the fold. This is an artifact of the original behavior, where the folds were literally included from a multi-line subject. We should probably stop doing that now that we fold on length (and should probably embed newlines via rfc2047 encoding in format-patch, at least with "-k", so that you can losslessly move multi-line subjects between the two if you always use "-k"). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
