I agree with you that the expected behavior when importing\npatches from e-mails is that the author date is set to the date in the\ne-mail, the way git-am does it.\n\nLooking at the code, it looks like the intention is that it should\nwork that way, too. So I guess it's simply a bug. Catalin, do you have\na clue?\n\n-- \nKarl Hasselström, kha@treskal.com\n www.treskal.com/kalle\n"}]}
