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.

Why is it important that you do not copy it? Because I couldn't find a way to preserve the commit message otherwise.

generally you should apply patch with patch command I used the git am command for it.

Why is it important that you do not copy it? 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.

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 ?
