Hi!

Thanks Jakub for your answer.

If somebody could explain how they handle the git send-mail patches
they recieve, I would be thankful. How do you create .mbox files? What
is your workflow when you deal with mails?
I almost always use git-format-patch to generate patches (some people
use git-show or git-diff for proof-of-concept patches), and either use
git-send-email (I have sendmail configured to send mails via GMail,
but my computer is single-user machine; you can try sendemail.smpt*
options instead, if you have appropriate Perl modules installed), or
use KMail: Message > Insert file, ensuring that in Options I have Word
wrapping turned off.

In some rare case I used 'stg mail' (also via properly configured
sendmail).
My question was about handling the patches you receive. Sending
configuration is quite easy.

Thanks

Sorry, my mistake.

Handling received patches is even simpler. In KMail/KNode us Save As
(with .txt or .patch extension), the "git am --3way <file>"
(or, but only once, "stg import -m < <file>").

I use a little script that pipes the patches I have selected in Mail
through git-am, so it's just selecting the patches in my mail
client and then 'git apply-patches' in the repo I want them in.
