What script should kernel developers use, to import an mbox full of patches? Thanks, Jeff ``` ## Petr Baudis, 2005-04-27 23:14 Subject: Re: import mbox?

There is git-tools. One of the many ways how to get it is $ cg-clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/torvalds/git-tools.git Note that AFAIK it does not set $AUTHOR_DATE properly; patches were posted to this mailing list to fix this. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog. -- Steve Taylor ``` ## Linus Torvalds, 2005-04-27 23:21 Subject: Re: import mbox?

I've got a "tools" project at kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/torvalds/git-tools.git which has my old "dotest" scripts re-written for git (yeah, yeah, three years and two generations later, I still call the damn thing "dotest". I'm not very good at this tool naming thing ;) Linus ```
