Thanks! BTW, it looks like you are not using "git am -s" to apply these patches? The reason why I ask is that whatever you're using isn't removing the [XXX] subject prefix (e.g., [PATCH] or [PATCH -v2] which is useful for mailing lists, but less useful in the git commit descriptions.

If you're using guilt, do you have some script that preformats a Unix mbox into guilt-friendly files? If so, maybe it would be good to modify it to strip out the [PATCH] annotations. If not, let me know, since I've been thinking about writing a script to take a Unix mbox, and bursts it into a separate patch-per-file with a series file suitable for use by guilt, removing mail headers and doing other appropriate pre-parsing --- basically, a "guilt am" which works much like "git am". But if someone else has done this already, no point duplicating effort. :-)
