I decided that it's easier to support sending a single mbox file with this alias instead:

send-mbox = "!bash -ec 'eval f=\\$$#; eval set -- `seq -f\"\\$%.0f\" 1 $(($#-1))`; if last=`mkdir .mboxsplit && git mailsplit -d4 -o.mboxsplit -b -- \"$f\"`; then echo Found $last messages in \"$f\"; git send-email \"$@\" .mboxsplit && rm -rf .mboxsplit; else rm -rf .mboxsplit; fi' -"

So, patch withdrawn. I don't think I'll post the patches in my mailsplit-with-sendemail branch.
