--utf8::
	Pass `-u` flag to 'git mailinfo' (see linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]).
	The proposed commit log message taken from the e-mail
	is re-coded into UTF-8 encoding (configuration variable
	`i18n.commitEncoding` can be used to specify the project's
	preferred encoding if it is not UTF-8).
+
This was optional in prior versions of git, but now it is the
default.   You can use `--no-utf8` to override this.

--no-utf8::
	Pass `-n` flag to 'git mailinfo' (see
	linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]).

-3::
--3way::
--no-3way::
	When the patch does not apply cleanly, fall back on
	3-way merge if the patch records the identity of blobs
	it is supposed to apply to and we have those blobs
	available locally. `--no-3way` can be used to override
	am.threeWay configuration variable. For more information,
	see am.threeWay in linkgit:git-config[1].

--ignore-space-change::
--ignore-whitespace::
--whitespace=<action>::
-C<n>::
-p<n>::
--directory=<dir>::
--exclude=<path>::
--include=<path>::
--reject::
	These flags are passed to the 'git apply' (see linkgit:git-apply[1])
	program that applies
	the patch.
+
Valid <action> for the `--whitespace` option are:
`nowarn`, `warn`, `fix`, `error`, and `error-all`.

--patch-format::
	By default the command will try to detect the patch format
	automatically. This option allows the user to bypass the automatic
	detection and specify the patch format that the patch(es) should be
	interpreted as. Valid formats are mbox, mboxrd,
	stgit, stgit-series, and hg.

-i::
--interactive::
	Run interactively.

-n::
--no-verify::
	By default, the pre-applypatch and applypatch-msg hooks are run.
	When any of `--no-verify` or `-n` is given, these are bypassed.
	See also linkgit:githooks[5].

--committer-date-is-author-date::
	By default the command records the date from the e-mail
	message as the commit author date, and uses the time of
	commit creation as the committer date. This allows the
	user to lie about the committer date by using the same
	value as the author date.

--ignore-date::
	By default the command records the date from the e-mail
	message as the commit author date, and uses the time of
	commit creation as the committer date. This allows the
	user to lie about the author date by using the same
	value as the committer date.

--skip::
	Skip the current patch.  This is only meaningful when
	restarting an aborted patch.

-S[<keyid>]::
--gpg-sign[=<keyid>]::
--no-gpg-sign::
	GPG-sign commits. The `keyid` argument is optional and
	defaults to the committer identity; if specified, it must be
	stuck to the option without a space. `--no-gpg-sign` is useful to
	countermand both `commit.gpgSign` configuration variable, and
	earlier `--gpg-sign`.

--continue::
-r::
--resolved::
	After a patch failure (e.g. attempting to apply
	conflicting patch), the user has applied it by hand and
	the index file stores the result of the application.
	Make a commit using the authorship and commit log
	extracted from the e-mail message and the current index
	file, and continue.

--resolvemsg=<msg>::
	When a patch failure occurs, <msg> will be printed
	to the screen before exiting.  This overrides the
	standard message informing you to use `--continue`
	or `--skip` to handle the failure.  This is solely
	for internal use between 'git
