OK. I'll put together a new, complete patch series implementing my best
attempt at all of this.

I'll make each commit address an actual bug in git as much as
possible.

For example, I suspect that "git am" is still passing a bare email to
mailsplit which can cause broken splitting for a message with a "From
... timestamp" line it. My current series doesn't test that, (nor try to
fix it), but that's all in the same family of bugs here.

Thanks for all the feedback,

-Carl
