I thought I would use "git mailsplit" to split a mbox file (which downloaded
from public inbox) so that I could attemp to resurrect a patch series for from
a year ago.
The motivation is that I downloaded the series [1] and applied to a tag from
about the time period that the patch was sent out [2].
The "git am -3 patch.mbox quit 2/3 of the way though. I resolved the fix.
and ran "git am --continue" which didn't apply the rest of the patches in the
mbox.
So two questions:
1) why would git version 2.18.0 not appear to continue applying the patches.
2) where do I find the command "git mailsplit". The onlything in my
installed tree is:
$ find /usr/local/ -name '*mailsplit*'
/usr/local/share/doc/git-doc/git-mailsplit.txt
/usr/local/share/doc/git-doc/git-mailsplit.html
/usr/local/share/man/man1/git-mailsplit.1
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-mailsplit
sps
[1] https://public-inbox.org/git/1502914591-26215-1-git-send-email-martin@mail.zuhause/
[2] I wanted to make sure that I could apply back then before attempting to
either apply to the latest git version or rebase to the latest git version.

This is the mailsplit command, and should be executed when running `git
mailsplit`. What does git --exec-dir return?

The other night when I ran "git mailsplit", I recieved an unknown command
response. Since then I have upated to 2.19.0 plush my submitted patches for
git commit. With the new build mailsplit is found.
I don't know what was wrong before.
