Not necessarily a suggestion to change what you already added, but a
mere food for thought.

An obvious (and UNIX-y) alternative design would have been to follow
the popular convention to tell the command to read from the standard
input stream when "-" is used instead of a filename.  Then this line
did not have to change, and the command would have allowed arguments
like:

	$ git contacts patch1 patch2 - <patch3
	$ git contacts patch1 - patch3 <patch2
