    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.
