Trying to use git-tools' "dotest" script to merge an mbox into a kernel git repo failed, but patch(1) was OK with it:

	[jgarzik@pretzel netdev-2.6]$ dotest /g/tmp/mbox
	Applying 'e1000: fix spinlock bug'
	fatal: corrupt patch at line 10
	[jgarzik@pretzel netdev-2.6]$ patch -sp1  < /g/tmp/mbox
	[jgarzik@pretzel netdev-2.6]$

Ideas? Full data needed to reproduce is attached. .git/HEAD is a4936044001694f033fe4ea94d6034d51a6b465c.
