Hi, I am following some kernel mailing lists (netdev and others). I want to be able to save recent patches and to apply the against a git tree. I tried using MUTT client for this. I save the patch (which is almost always inline).
Try the following, it worked for me:
- "tag" the patchset and "tag-save" or "tag-copy" it into one file
- run: git am patchset.name
BTW, everyone working with git should try StGit ("stacked git"), it's
quite a useful tool.
HTH,
