.SH "NAME"
maildir\-import\-patch \- import a git patch series into a maildir
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBmaildir-import-patch\fR \fI\s-1MAILDIR\s0\fR [\fI\f(BIgit\-format\-patch\fI\|(1) args\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBmaildir-import-patch\fR generates a patch series using
\&\fBgit\-format\-patch\fR\|(1), and then imports the series into a maildir as an
e\-mail thread, one message per patch.
.PP
This is useful for providing inline feedback on a branch by e\-mail,
when the submitter did not use \fBgit\-send\-email\fR\|(1).
.SH "EXAMPLE"
.IX Header "EXAMPLE"
Suppose that Bob uses \fBgit\-request\-pull\fR\|(1) to ask you to review and
merge his branch 'feature'.  You add Bob's repository as a remote
called 'bob', check out the bob/feature branch locally, look at the
commits and run some tests.  Now you'd like to provide inline feedback
on Bob's changes, indicating which parts you think are ready to merge
and which parts need more work.  So you type
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    % maildir\-import\-patch ~/Maildir/patches master..bob/feature
.Ve
.PP
Over in your \s-1MUA,\s0 you can then reply to each e\-mail in the new thread
generated by \fBmaildir-import-patch\fR, providing line-by-line feedback
on Bob's work.
.SH "GIT CONFIGURATION KEYS"
.IX Header "GIT CONFIGURATION KEYS"
.IP "\fBmailscripts.project\-shortname\fR" 4
.IX Item "mailscripts.project-shortname"
Short identifier for the project to be prepended to the subject lines
of generated patches, like this: \*(L"[\s-1PATCH\s0 shortname imported]\*(R".  If
unset, defaults to the name of the root directory of the repository.
.Sp
Ignored if any \fI\-\-subject\-prefix\fR option is present in the
arguments to be passed on to \fBgit\-format\-patch\fR\|(1).
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
