Is there something wrong with -p<n>? Looking at git-am, -p is not currently accepted as an option. Its universally considered the depth parameter to standard `patch`, which is why git-apply also accepts it over --patchdepth.

I'd rather see git-am use the same arguments (when possible) as git-apply.
