import mbox?

import mbox?

[Jeff Garzik]

Sorry for the FAQ, but I didn't see this in any of the scripts in the 
'git' archives, nor in the README.

What script should kernel developers use, to import an mbox full of patches?

Thanks,

	Jeff

There is git-tools. One of the many ways how to get it is

	$ cg-clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/torvalds/git-tools.git

Note that AFAIK it does not set $AUTHOR_DATE properly; patches were
posted to this mailing list to fix this.

I've got a "tools" project at

	kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/torvalds/git-tools.git

which has my old "dotest" scripts re-written for git (yeah, yeah, three 
years and two generations later, I still call the damn thing "dotest". I'm 
not very good at this tool naming thing ;)
