=head1 NAME mbox-extract-patch - extract a git patch series from an mbox =head1 SYNOPSIS B [I] =head1 DESCRIPTION B extracts a series of git patches from an mbox. It is designed to extract patches that were originally sent using git-send-email(1). It skips cover letters and replies/reviews in its output. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-v>|B<--reroll-count=>I Try to extract the Ith version of a patch series, where these patches are identified by subject prefixes like "[PATCH vI 1/3]". If this option is not specified, and there is more than one series, default to extracting the version of the patch series with the highest version number we find. Note that this option should not usually be needed, because best practices when sharing patches with git-send-email(1) include starting a new thread when posting a revised series. The I<--in-reply-to> option to git-format-patch(1) is used mainly for posting a patch series in reply to a bug report. =item B<--trailers> Extract and add to patches lines like Acked-by: A. Developer sent in reply to those patches. B<--trailers> is on by default, and B<--no-trailers> can be used to disable adding the trailers. =item B<--cover-letter-trailers> Additionally add to all patches in the series any trailers sent in reply to the cover letter of the patch series. =back =head1 EXAMPLE =over 4 % git checkout -b test-feature % mbox-extract-patch
