Specifying the value for a single letter, single dash option parameter with equal sign looked funny, and more importantly calling the flag to override encoding from utf-8 to something else "-u" (obviously abbreviated from "utf-8") did not make any sense. So spell it out. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

===============

|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-mailinfo - Extracts patch from a single e-mail message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-mailinfo' [-k] [-u | --encoding=<encoding>] <msg> <patch>
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Reading a single e-mail message from the standard input, and
|
|
writes the commit log message in <msg> file, and the patches in
|
|
<patch> file. The author name, e-mail and e-mail subject are
|
|
written out to the standard output to be used by git-applypatch
|
|
to create a commit. It is usually not necessary to use this
|
|
command directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-k::
|
|
Usually the program 'cleans up' the Subject: header line
|
|
to extract the title line for the commit log message,
|
|
among which (1) remove 'Re:' or 're:', (2) leading
|
|
whitespaces, (3) '[' up to ']', typically '[PATCH]', and
|
|
then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this
|
|
munging, and is most useful when used to read back 'git
|
|
format-patch --mbox' output.
|
|
|
|
-u::
|
|
By default, the commit log message, author name and
|
|
author email are taken from the e-mail without any
|
|
charset conversion, after minimally decoding MIME
|
|
transfer encoding. This flag causes the resulting
|
|
commit to be encoded in the encoding specified by
|
|
i18n.commitencoding configuration (defaults to utf-8) by
|
|
transliterating them.
|
|
Note that the patch is always used as is without charset
|
|
conversion, even with this flag.
|
|
|
|
--encoding=<encoding>::
|
|
Similar to -u but if the local convention is different
|
|
from what is specified by i18n.commitencoding, this flag
|
|
can be used to override it.
|
|
|
|
<msg>::
|
|
The commit log message extracted from e-mail, usually
|
|
except the title line which comes from e-mail Subject.
|
|
|
|
<patch>::
|
|
The patch extracted from e-mail.
