git-apply versus git-am

git-apply versus git-am

[Sean Kelley]

Why doesn't git-apply include an option for a signoff line like git-am?

git-applymbox /tmp/mbox ~/.signoff

Or am I missing something?  (most likely the case!)

git apply is just a safer patch(1). They serve different purpose.

applymbox is going away.

That sucks!  I like git-am.  Is there a replacement command that applies a patch and 
commits it at the same time?  If I use git-apply on a patch that adds new files, I need to 
use git-add on the files before I can commit it.  That's a real pain.

Read it again.  Junio talked about applymbox, not am.

Sorry, for some reason I thought git-am is just a shortcut for git-applymbox.

'git am' isn't going away, but as Junio mentioned, 'git applymbox' is.
Those are two *different* programms doing roughly the same, but
'git applymbox' is superceded by 'git am'.
