It works for me with the latest snapshot. What might happen in your case is a missing "---" line after the patch description. The import command reads the sys.stdin file descriptor until the first "---" line. After that, the git.apply() function will read the rest of the lines and pass them to git-apply. You can put some prints in the git.apply() function to check where it starts reading from.

Patches without description cannot be read from stdin at the moment. Maybe I could add another option to prevent it from reading the description.
