I thought I would use "git mailsplit" to split a mbox file (which downloaded
from public inbox) so that I could attemp to resurrect a patch series for from
a year ago.
The motivation is that I downloaded the series [1] and applied to a tag from
about the time period that the patch was sent out [2].
The "git am -3 patch.mbox quit 2/3 of the way though. I resolved the fix.
and ran "git am --continue" which didn't apply the rest of the patches in the
mbox.
So two questions:
1) why would git version 2.18.0 not appear to continue applying the patches.
2) where do I find the command "git mailsplit". The onlything in my
installed tree is:
$ find /usr/local/ -name '*mailsplit*'
/usr/local/share/doc/git-doc/git-mailsplit.txt
/usr/local/share/doc/git-doc/git-mailsplit.html
/usr/local/share/man/man1/git-mailsplit.1
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-mailsplit

[2] I wanted to make sure that I could apply back then before attempting to
either apply to the latest git version or rebase to the latest git version.
