Which one should I use? Which one do _you_ use?\n\ngit-applymbox was one of the first git porcelain scripts ever written,\nby Linus.  (In fact, it's original name of \"dotest\" is visible in some\nof the temp files.)  It has its rough edges, but Linus is used to it,\nso it is retained for his convenience.\n\ngit-am is a rewrite with a nicer (but different) command line.  If you\nare starting, it's the one you should learn and use.\n\nIn particular, git-am has options like \"--resolved\" and \"--skip\" \nfor resuming from an interrupted patch series.  Restarting\ngit-applymbox requires a detailed knowledge of its workings.\n\n"}]}
