Maybe it *could* be a nice feature, but it does *not* currently work, so this patch is not breaking anything:

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

And I think git-am is really similiar to git-apply functionally, so it should work in a similiar manner.
