Two things that would be great would be:

  - to be able to import patches with "-p0" (people not using git
    often sends such patches)

  - to be able to find where the patch should be applied; I sometimes
    receive patches for GCC directory "gcc/ada/", diffed from there,
    and if StGit could see that the patch only makes sense there and
    not at the top-level it would be great as well
