+================

+NAME
+----
+git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] [--mboxrd]
+ -o<directory> [--] [(<mbox>|<Maildir>)...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the
+specified directory so you can process them further from there.
+
+IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
+patches in the correct order.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+<mbox>::
+ Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from
+ the standard input.
+
+<Maildir>::
+ Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp
+ and new subdirectories.
+
+-o<directory>::
+ Directory in which to place the individual messages.
+
+-b::
+ If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
+ single mail message instead of signaling error.
+
+-d<prec>::
+ Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
+ different precision can be specified for the generated
+ filenames.
+
+-f<nn>::
+ Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
+ start the numbering with 0004.
+
+--keep-cr::
+ Do not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`.
+
+--mboxrd::
+ Input is of the "mboxrd" format and "^>+From " line escaping is
+ reversed.
