Subject: [PATCH 1/2] git-am: emit usage when called w/o arguments and w/o patch on stdin
Message-ID: <1233110338-16806-1-git-send-email-jaysoffian@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1233110338-16806-1-git-send-email-jaysoffian%40gmail.com

```
When git am is called w/o arguments, w/o a patch on stdin and the user hits
ctrl-c, it leaves behind a partially populated $dotest directory. After this
commit, it emits usage when called w/o arguments and w/o a patch on stdin.

Also ensure that $dotest is cleaned up if user manages to interupt mailsplit
while it is processing input.

Update usage statement to remove a no-longer supported option, and to hide two
options (one a no-op, one internal) unless --help-all is used.

Use "test -t 0" instead of deprecated "tty -s" to detect when stdin is a
terminal. (test -t 0 is used elsewhere in git-am and in other git shell
scripts, tty -s is not.)

Use "test ..." instead of "[ ... ]" and "die <msg>" instead of "echo <msg>
>&2; exit 1" to be consistent with rest of script.

While fixing Sverre's issue, I noticed a few other things about git-am that
seemed worth cleaning up. These seem much to small to split into separate
patches so I included them together. Let me know if they should be split.

Ugh, I forgot to sign-off on this and the next patch. Should I resend
or is it okay to say:

Signed-off-by: Jay Soffian <jaysoffian@gmail.com>

I do not think this "Also ensure" part is necessary nor desirable.  If
something goes wrong, we'd like to have a way to resurrect some partial
results from the split out result.

The rest looked fine.  Perhaps a re-roll?

Hmm, git-am was already nuking $dotest if mailsplit exited non-zero,
so I kept that behavior, but also clean-up if user kills git-am while
mailsplit is running.

I still think it should nuke $dotest if user hits ctrl-c, but I agree
if mailsplit exits non-zero it should not (which would be a change
from what it does now).

Sure.
