Yeah I agree, it would be an improvement. I think the same can be said
for git-mailinfo's and git-mailsplit's options. e.g. "pass -k flag to
git-mailinfo" is not very descriptive either, so we should change
their help strings as well.
Since git-am combines most of the options from git-mailsplit,
git-mailinfo and git-apply together, I wonder if we should split their
options into different groups, e.g:
usage: git am [options] [(<mbox>|<Maildir>)...]
or: git am [options] (--continue | --skip | --abort)
-i, --interactive run interactively
-3, --3way allow fall back on 3way merging if needed
-q, --quiet be quiet
-s, --signoff add a Signed-off-by line to the commit message
--patch-format <format>
format the patch(es) are in
--resolvemsg ... override error message when patch failure occurs
--continue continue applying patches after resolving a conflict
-r, --resolved synonyms for --continue
--skip skip the current patch
--abort restore the original branch and abort the
patching operation.
--committer-date-is-author-date
lie about committer date
--ignore-date use current timestamp for author date
--rerere-autoupdate update the index with reused conflict
resolution if possible
-S, --gpg-sign[=<key-id>]
GPG-sign commits
options for git-mailsplit
--keep-cr pass --keep-cr flag to git-mailsplit for mbox format
--no-keep-cr do not pass --keep-cr flag to git-mailsplit
independent of am.keepcr
options for git-mailinfo
-u, --utf8 recode into utf8 (default)
-m, --message-id pass -m flag to git-mailinfo
-c, --scissors strip everything before a scissors line
-k, --keep pass -k flag to git-mailinfo
--keep-non-patch pass -b flag to git-mailinfo
options for git-apply
--whitespace <action>
detect new or modified lines that have
whitespace errors
--ignore-space-change
ignore changes in whitespace when finding context
--ignore-whitespace ignore changes in whitespace when finding context
--directory <root> prepend <root> to all filenames
--exclude <path> don't apply changes matching the given path
--include <path> apply changes matching the given path
-C <n> ensure at least <n> lines of context match
-p <num> remove <num> leading slashes from
traditional diff paths
--reject leave the rejected hunks in corresponding *.rej files
We may wish to put these changes in their own preparatory patch series though.
What do you think?
Regards,
Paul
