I think I haven't run into this problem since when there's a reply, (on this list at least), it's often of the form "please fix up this issue or another" which then results in a subsequent mail with a new patch series. So I've been getting by with: | (cd ~/src/notmuch; git am -3) And I think that "git am" probably handles an erroneous reply fairly smoothly here, (gives "patch did not apply" and user does "git rebase =2D-continue" probably?). Meanwhile, I have friends and co-workers that live within the world of the Linux-kernel mailing list. And that world has a culture where people reply with things like: Signed-off-by: Elite Hacker or: Reviewed-by: Quality Coder And it would be awfully convenient to have an easy mechanism for the right thing to happen with replies like this, (which is that lines like the above should be added to the commit message of the message above). It would probably make sense for any extra smarts along these lines to be implemented in "git am" rather than in anything in notmuch I think. =2DCarl =2D-=20 carl.d.worth@intel.com --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFNteFp6JDdNq8qSWgRAttHAJ4nIkd2MkHRbMByzGnrPvRgJosvUwCePi2n s8v/NHO4//nsSbXvEqGX0mI= =5Q+0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
