<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
Applies a quilt patchset onto the current Git branch, preserving the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present in the quilt patchset.
<P>
For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author specified with --author. If the --author flag was not given the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to interactively enter the author of the patch.
<P>
If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is preserved as the 1 line subject in the Git description.
