Not implemented When -k is not in effect, all leading strings bracketed with '[' and ']' pairs are stripped. This option limits the stripping to only the pairs whose bracketed string contains the word "PATCH".

Not implemented Similar to -u but if the local convention is different from what is specified by i18n.commitencoding, this flag can be used to override it.

Not implemented Usually the program 'cleans up' the Subject: header line to extract the title line for the commit log message, among which (1) remove 'Re:' or 're:', (2) leading whitespaces, (3) '[' up to ']', typically '[PATCH]', and then prepends "[PATCH] ". This flag forbids this munging, and is most useful when used to read back 'git-format-patch -k' output.

Not implemented Disable all charset re-coding of the metadata.

Not implemented Ignore scissors lines. Useful for overriding mailinfo.scissors settings.

Not implemented Remove everything in body before a scissors line. A line that mainly consists of scissors (either ">8" or "8<") and perforation (dash "-") marks is called a scissors line, and is used to request the reader to cut the message at that line. If such a line appears in the body of the message before the patch, everything before it (including the scissors line itself) is ignored when this option is used. + This is useful if you want to begin your message in a discussion thread with comments and suggestions on the message you are responding to, and to conclude it with a patch submission, separating the discussion and the beginning of the proposed commit log message with a scissors line. + This can enabled by default with the configuration option mailinfo.scissors.

Not implemented The commit log message, author name and author email are taken from the e-mail, and after minimally decoding MIME transfer encoding, re-coded in UTF-8 by transliterating them. This used to be optional but now it is the default. + Note that the patch is always used as-is without charset conversion, even with this flag.
