Yes, please. These changes to git-am/git-mailsplit are very welcome by
those that don't use mbox-based MUAs. The whole workflow if git-am is
really trying if you are IMAP or Gmail/webmail based.

BTW, I recently had a go at using a Perl Gmail library to fetch
messages with a particular label into an mbox, but the library didn't
work, and I don't want to be chasing the taillights of gmails internal
API. If the python Gmail library works better, I may have a go at
learning python ;-)

cheers,
