Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: cite git-am from git-apply
Date: Tue,  3 Aug 2010 14:41:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1280860910-6867-1-git-send-email-brad.king@kitware.com> (raw)

Users reading git-apply documentation may also be interested in git-am,
especially after receiving an email created with git-format-patch.  The
documentation for git-am already references git-apply.  Add the reverse.
