NAME

-git-applymbox - Some git command not yet documented.
+git-applymbox - Apply a series of patches in a mailbox
SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-applymbox' [ --option ] <args>...
+'git-applymbox' [-u] [-k] [-q] ( -c .dotest/<num> | <mbox> ) [ <signoff> ]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Does something not yet documented.
+Splits mail messages in a mailbox into commit log message,
+authorship information and patches, and applies them to the
+current branch.
OPTIONS
-------
---option::
- Some option not yet documented.
+-q::
+ Apply patches interactively. The user will be given
+ opportunity to edit the log message and the patch before
+ attempting to apply patch in each e-mail message.
-<args>...::
- Some argument not yet documented.
+-k::
+ Usually the program 'cleans up' the Subject: header line
+ to extract the title line for the commit log message,
+ among which (1) remove 'Re:' or 're:', (2) leading
+ whitespaces, (3) '[' up to ']', typically '[PATCH]', and
+ then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
+ munging, and is most useful when used to read back 'git
+ format-patch --mbox' output.
+-u::
+ By default, the commit log message, author name and
+ author email are taken from the e-mail without any
+ charset conversion, after minimally decoding MIME
+ transfer encoding. This flag causes the resulting
+ commit to be encoded in utf-8 by transliterating them.
+ Note that the patch is always used as is without charset
+ conversion, even with this flag.
+
+-c .dotest/<num>::
+ When the patch contained in an e-mail does not cleanly
+ apply, the command exits with an error message. The
+ patch and extracted message are found in .dotest/, and
+ you could re-run 'git applymbox' with '-c .dotest/<num>'
+ flag to restart the process after inspecting and fixing
+ them.
+
+<mbox>::
+ The name of the file that contains the e-mail messages
+ with patches. This file should be in the UNIX mailbox
+ format. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn about
+ the formatting convention for e-mail submission.
+
+<signoff>::
+ The name of the file that contains your "Signed-off-by"
+ line. See 'SubmittingPatches' document to learn what
+ "Signed-off-by" line means. You can also just say
+ 'yes', 'true', 'me', or 'please' to use an automatically
+ generated "Signed-off-by" line based on your committer
+ identity.

SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-bisect-script' [ --option ] <args>...
+'git bisect' start
+'git bisect' bad <rev>
+'git bisect' good <rev>
+'git bisect' reset [<branch>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
-Does something not yet documented.
+This command uses 'git-rev-list --bisect' option to help drive
+the binary search process to find which change introduced a bug,
+given an old "good" commit object name and a later "bad" commit
+object name.
+The way you use it is:
-OPTIONS
--------
---option::
- Some option not yet documented.
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect start
+git bisect bad # Current version is bad
+git bisect good v2.6.13-rc2 # v2.6.13-rc2 was the last version
+ # tested that was good
+------------------------------------------------
-<args>...::
- Some argument not yet documented.
+When you give at least one bad and one good versions, it will
+bisect the revision tree and say something like:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+Bisecting: 675 revisions left to test after this
+------------------------------------------------
+
+and check out the state in the middle. Now, compile that kernel, and boot
+it. Now, let's say that this booted kernel works fine, then just do
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect good # this one is good
+------------------------------------------------
+
+which will now say
+
+------------------------------------------------
+Bisecting: 337 revisions left to test after this
+------------------------------------------------
+
+and you continue along, compiling that one, testing it, and depending on
+whether it is good or bad, you say "git bisect good" or "git bisect bad",
+and ask for the next bisection.
+
+Until you have no more left, and you'll have been left with the first bad
+kernel rev in "refs/bisect/bad".
+
+Oh, and then after you want to reset to the original head, do a
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect reset
+------------------------------------------------
+
+to get back to the master branch, instead of being in one of the bisection
+branches ("git bisect start" will do that for you too, actually: it will
+reset the bisection state, and before it does that it checks that you're
+not using some old bisection branch).
