Based on my notes from the last time I needed to feed a bunch of non-mbox, non-git-produced patches into git-am, the hard part was figuring out how it split a file into separate messages; my notes say: "Finds lines begining with "From " and ending with "hh:mm:ss yyyy". See builtin-mailsplit code for more details." Other than that, I think it just needs and From: and Subject: lines to get author and first-line of the commit. the git-am man page has some documentation of this. It could probably use more. --b. - 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
