git-am and git-rebase are talkative scripts. Teach them to be quiet when
told, allowing them to speak only when they fail or experience errors.

The quiet option is maintained when git-am or git-rebase fails to apply
a patch. This means subsequent --resolved, --continue, --skip, --abort
invocations will be quiet if the original invocation was quiet.

Drop a handful of >&2 redirection; the rest of the program sends all the
info messages to stdout, not to stderr.

git-apply because they are not "true" errors until the 3-way has been

When you are in the middle of "git rebase", "git am --abort" by mistake

Update usage statement to remove a no-longer supported option, and to hide two
options (one a no-op, one internal) unless --help-all is used.

Use "test -t 0" instead of "tty -s" to detect when stdin is a terminal. (test
-t 0 is used elsewhere in git-am and in other git shell scripts, tty -s is
not, and appears to be deprecated by POSIX)

This new option tells 'git-am' to ignore the date header field
recorded in the format-patch output. The commits will have the
timestamp when they are created instead.

You can work a lot in one day to accumulate many changes, but
apply and push to the public repository only some of them at
the end of the first day. Then next day you can spend all your

this option to pretend that you have been working at the end

Thanks to a2003379 (git-am: propagate -C<n>, -p<n> options as well,

failure and restart.

These options are meant to deal with patches that do not apply cleanly
due to the differences between the version the patch was based on and
the version "git am" is working on.

Because a series of patches applied in the same "git am" run tends to
come from the same source, it is more useful to propagate these options
after the application stops.

When you start "git am --whitespace=fix" and the patch application process
is interrupted by an unapplicable patch early in the series, after
fixing the offending patch, the remainder of the patch should be processed
still with --whitespace=fix when restarted with "git am --resolved" (or
dropping the offending patch with "git am --skip").

The breakage was introduced by the commit 67dad687 (add -C[NUM] to git-am,
2007-02-08); this should fix it.

In 3-way merge, "am" will let the index with unmerged path waiting

is no longer supported.

"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD,
which makes it easy to go back to where you were before you inflict a
major damage to your history and realize that you do not like the result
at all.  These days with reflog, we technically do not need to use
ORIG_HEAD, but it is a handy way nevertheless.

This teaches "am" and "rebase" (all forms --- the vanilla one that uses
"am" as its backend, "-m" variant that cherry-picks, and "--interactive")
to do the same.

The original idea and a partial implementation to do this only for "rebase
-m" was by Brian Gernhardt; this extends on his idea.

POSIX allows echo without flag to interpret specials such as \n, and we
