2005-07-23[PATCH] mailinfo: handle folded header.Junio C Hamano
Some people split their long E-mail address over two lines using the RFC2822 header "folding". We can lose authorship information this way, so make a minimum effort to deal with it, instead of special casing only the "Subject:" field. We could teach mailsplit to unfold the folded header, but teaching mailinfo about folding would make more sense; a single message can be fed to mailinfo without going through mailsplit.

2005-07-22[PATCH] git-format-patch-script and mailinfo updates.Junio C Hamano
- avoid duplicating [PATCH] in the commit message body if the original commit has it already (happens for commits done from mails via applymbox). - check if the commit author is different from the one who is running the script, and emit an appropriate "From:" and "Date: " lines to the output. - with '--date', emit "Date: " line to preserve the original author date even for the user's own commit. - teach mailinfo to grok not just "From: " but "Date: ". The patch e-mail output by format-patch starts with the first line from the original commit message, prefixed with [PATCH], and optionally a From: line if you are reformatting a patch obtained from somebody else, a Date: line from the original commit if (1) --date is specified or (2) for somebody else's patch, and the rest of the commit message body. Expected use of this is to move the title line from the commit to Subject: when sending it via an e-mail, and leave the From: and the Date: lines as the first lines of your message. The mailinfo command has been changed to read Date: (in addition to From: it already understands) and do sensible things when running applymbox.

2005-07-16Prepare git-tools for merging into the main git archiveLinus Torvalds
Rename into a "tools" subdirectory, and change name of "dotest" to "applymbox". Remove stripspace (which was already copied into git) and cvs2git (which was likewise already copied into git, and then replaced by a much better perl version). All of this was brought on by Ryan Anderson shaming me into it. Thanks. I guess.
