So this > should probably be I was just getting ready to re-roll this series[1] to address Michael's comments[2] and noticed that the add-on patch 7/6 which I sent later[3] seems to have been botched when Junio applied it to 'pu'. It's currently at 36598db (Documentation/git-tools: drop references to defunct tools, 2015-07-24) in es/doc-clean-outdated-tools and it appears that the --scissors option didn't cut off the leading cruft from the email conversation, thus the commit has the wrong "subject" plus a bunch of email conversation gunk in the commit message which doesn't belong. I understand that Junio uses a relatively bleeding-edge version of Git for his day-to-day work and was wondering if this is possible fallout from the git-am rewrite in C?
