What does this apply on?  I tried 'git am -3' but it says
  Applying: Documentation: remove stray backslash in show-branch discussion
  Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
  error: patch failed: Documentation/git-show-branch.txt:168
  error: Documentation/git-show-branch.txt: patch does not apply
  Did you hand edit your patch?
  It does not apply to blobs recorded in its index.
  Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
