https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-kernel/2011-April/000250.html&ei=FXL5UIy-KYKErQf47oGgAg&usg=AFQjCNGVUHMUQJ6gAhSkXJb7rWO6h_xA9A&bvm=bv.41248874,d.bmk

how do i apply it directly to my branch without copying it ?

I have tried git am and git mail-info, but i am not sure if I am using
the correct command.

Can you please let me know the correct command ?

I would prefer to get the git commit id from the branch and generate the
patch from there.
generally you should apply patch with patch command, but I am not sure what
are you trying to achieve here.

Thanks for the reply.
I figured it out.
I got the mbox file, split it and searched for the required patch and
applied it, all through git commands.

Because I couldn't find a way to preserve the commit message otherwise.

I used the git am command for it.
