Hi List,

When I first tried to apply a patch someone gave me I got the following errors.

  $ git am patch.patch
  tr: write error: Broken pipe
  tr: write error
  Patch format detection failed.

The patch itself was generated from gitk and while I'd seen the format detection problem before but the tr errors were new to me. I haven't looked at the tr problem yet but the gitk thing had been bugging me for a while so here's a patch that understands the format generated by gitk.
