The
bk receive
command is used to apply a BitKeeper patch that was received via
email.
If you receive an email message that is a BitKeeper patch, save
the message and feed it to the receive command as follows:
 |
$ bk receive ~/mypackage < patch
|
Headers and footers are automatically stripped from the message.
Note that if you don't yet have a repository created for this
patch, you must use the
-i
option to
bk receive
in order to create a new repository.
Specifying the repository is optional;
if it is unspecified, receive tries to use the current working
directory.
