This patch modifies the import command to check for standard 'git show'
output and parse it accordingly.

Somewhat related:

It would really rock if stg import could handle the regular patch "-p<N>" flag.
In particular, I miss -p0 as some broken versioning systems default to
such output.

It's probably just a matter of passing the right flag to git-apply.
I'll try to have a look before -rc3.
