Heh, right. With patch I just switch to another shell, cd to the correct
directory, start mutt *there* and pipe the message to patch.  Since this already
seems to work for git-apply, maybe this can be made to work with git-am as well?

Currently:
$git-am mbox
fatal: Not a git repository: '.git'
You need to run this command from the toplevel of the working tree.
