Hello,

I tried to apply Russell King's git-cur[1] to my linux-2.6 repo. The problem I was faced there is that git-am isn't able to parse the date in the "From " lines.

arm.mbox uses e.g.

	From rmk Sun Feb 25 22:32:59 GMT 2007

while git-am (or more exactly git-mailsplit) expects to find the year directly after the time.

The output of date specifies the timezone between time and year, too.

The next problem is that once more that my 'ö' is not correctly taken in the commit. I didn't debug that yet, but probably inserting a Content-Type header helps here?

I'll debug that further, but at the moment I don't have the time. Just send out my current status, maybe someone else wants to look after that issue.

Attached is the current script to reproduce it.

Best regards Uwe
