Hi, all, 
I met a problem with git am.

Before applying a mbox patch, "git apply --check" reports OK. Then, I run 'git am', however, it complains "does not match index". Actually, both working tree and index are clean. what might be the problem?

If I run "git am --abort" now, and re-turn "git am". To my surprise, everything goes well.

Best
