+NAME
+----
+git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git quiltimport' [--dry-run | -n] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>]
+		[--series <file>] [--keep-non-patch]
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Applies a quilt patchset onto the current Git branch, preserving
+the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present
+in the quilt patchset.
+
+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.
+
+If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is
+preserved as the 1 line subject in the Git description.
+
