(most likely the case!)

They serve different purpose. ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2007-07-23 08:54 Subject: Re: git-apply versus git-am Message-ID: <7vsl7flctg.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vsl7flctg.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net In-Reply-To: ``` "Sean Kelley" writes: > Why doesn't git-apply include an option for a signoff line like git-am? > > git-applymbox /tmp/mbox ~/.signoff > > Or am I missing something? (most likely the case!) applymbox is going away. ``` ## Timur Tabi, 2007-07-23 17:20 Subject: Re: git-apply versus git-am Message-ID: <46A4E368.7080909@freescale.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/46A4E368.7080909%40freescale.com In-Reply-To: <7vsl7flctg.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ``` Junio C Hamano wrote: > applymbox is going away. That sucks! I like git-am. Is there a replacement command that applies a patch and commits it at the same time? If I use git-apply on a patch that adds new files, I need to use git-add on the files before I can commit it. That's a real pain. -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2007-07-23 17:34 Subject: Re: git-apply versus git-am Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.64.0707231834280.14781%40racer.site In-Reply-To: <46A4E368.7080909@freescale.com> ``` Hi, On Mon, 23 Jul 2007, Timur Tabi wrote: > Junio C Hamano wrote: > > > applymbox is going away. > > That sucks! I like git-am. Read it again. Junio talked about applymbox, not am.

'git am' isn't going away, but as Junio mentioned, 'git applymbox' is. Those are two *different* programms doing roughly the same, but 'git applymbox' is superceded by 'git am'. -Peter ``` ## Timur Tabi, 2007-07-23 17:37 Subject: Re: git-apply versus git-am Message-ID: <46A4E777.8090301@freescale.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/46A4E777.8090301%40freescale.com In-Reply-To: ``` Johannes Schindelin wrote: > Read it again. Junio talked about applymbox, not am. Sorry, for some reason I thought git-am is just a shortcut for git-applymbox. -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale ```
