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.
