=head1 NAME notmuch-extract-patch - extract a git patch series from notmuch =head1 SYNOPSIS B I =head1 DESCRIPTION B extracts a series of git patches from your notmuch database. It is designed to extract patches that were originally sent using git-send-email(1). It skips cover letters and replies/reviews. =head1 OPTIONS None. =head1 EXAMPLE =over 4 % git checkout -b test-feature % notmuch-extract-patch thread:000000000000265f | git am =back =head1 LIMITATIONS B assumes one patch series per query. So if there is more than one patch series in a thread, you will need to construct a notmuch query that includes only the patches you want to extract, which somewhat defeats the purpose of this script. This should not happen often 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 B is used mainly for posting a patch series in reply to a bug report. =head1 SEE ALSO notmuch(1), git-send-email(1) =head1 AUTHOR B was written by Aurelien Aptel.
