> Since git-rebase currently ignores merge commits

Ugh. This is the bit I did not know about.

So the following script is kind of equivalent to rebase -
it applies commits in range $1..$2 that touch files in list on top of current tree:

from=$1
shift
to=$1
shift
git-show --pretty=email `git-rev-list --no-merges $from..$to -- $* | tac` > box
../git-am box

And here I was hoping rebase will be smarter and help me out.

OK.

Questions about the above line now:

1. What is annoying in the above is that
git-show can not limit its output to just the part of patch
that affects the list of files I give, the way git-diff can.
Would such an extension be a good idea?

2. It's unfortunate that I need a temp file here.
Can git-am get stdin somehow?
