Doh!  I haven't needed to do that yet.  I'll code up a pg-import
later tonight.  But since git and pg play nice together you can
do this:

	pg-new Patch-Name
	git-apply the-patch-file.patch
	pg-ci -m"Importing the-patch-file.patch..."

or even:

	pg-new Patch-Name
	git-am mbox

and keep the 'history' stored in the mailbox.

So pg-import won't amount to a very long script.  :-|
