From 42e2cba20466e50825c55d2642da72bf4f088040 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Baudis Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 02:28:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Brief documentation for the mysterious git-am script The git-am script is nowhere called and nowhere (including itself) explained, and the name isn't helpful either. For those like me who will wonder what is it about, add some documentation stub for it to the documentation. I probably got something wrong and I don't feel like investigating all the options - this is just kind of "emergency" docs.
