Package: git Version: 1:1.7.10.4-2 Severity: wishlist It would be helpful to have 'git am' recognize DEP-3 style patch headers in Debian. While it correctly extracts the author and description when the headers are called 'Subject' and 'From', it fails to do so when the alternative forms 'Description' and 'Author' are used.
Since we have DEP-3 in Debian, and I've had to apply an existing quilt patch from a Debian packaging repo to a github clone of the upstream repo in order to forward it quite frequently lately, I think it would generally be useful to have this feature, at least as a Debian-only addition. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (700, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git depends on: ii git-man 1:1.7.10.4-2 ii libc6 2.17-92 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.31.0-2 ii liberror-perl 0.17-1 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-4 ii perl-modules 5.14.2-21 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Versions of packages git recommends: ii less 458-2 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.2p2-6 ii patch 2.7.1-3 ii rsync 3.0.9-4 Versions of packages git suggests: ii gettext-base 0.18.3-1 pn git-arch <none> ii git-cvs 1:1.7.10.4-2 pn git-daemon-run | git-daemon-sysvinit <none> ii git-doc 1:1.7.10.4-2 pn git-el <none> ii git-email 1:1.7.10.4-2 pn git-gui <none> ii git-svn 1:1.7.10.4-2 ii gitk 1:1.7.10.4-2 pn gitweb <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
