git-am doesn't apply the rest of the email after a partial patch fail?

Hi,

I'm trying to convert/rebase about 40 local patches from an old mercurial fork of OpenGrok (upstream used to use hg), to the new git repository (upstream has recently switched to github).

What I decided to do is convert my old mercurial repo to git (by pushing with py-hg-git to a git repository, and then checking out with git), and use `git format-patch` from an old .hg-git.git repository, and then use `git am` on the new (upstream git) repository of the `format-patch` mails from an old one.

However, what I've faced with, is that when a conflict happens, and I resolve, and do `git add`, and `git am --resolved`, then the rest of the `format-patch` email where the conflict has occurred is discarded, and the subsequent patch/email now doesn't want to apply either, since all of the previous patch/email is missing, other than the manually added changes.

What gives? Does `git am --resolve` discard the rest of the mail, if any patching errors occur? Is one supposed to apply the whole `format-patch` email manually when `git am` does encounter some problem with only some minor parts of that email?
