15DESCRIPTION
16-----------
17Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving
18the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present
19in the quilt patchset.
20
21For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the
22patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author
23specified with --author. If the --author flag was not given
24the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to
25interactively enter the author of the patch.
26
27If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is
28preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description.
