[RFC PATCHv3 4/4] am: add gitk patch format
Patches created using gitk's "write commit to file" functionality (which uses 'git diff-tree -p --pretty' under the hood) need some massaging in order to apply cleanly. This consists of dropping the 'commit' line automatically determining the subject and removing leading whitespace.

This hasn't materially changed from the version Junio expressed
reservations about[1]. It solves my immediate problem but perhaps this
(as well as stgit and hg) belong as external filters in a pipeline
before git am. Or maybe mailsplit should absorb the functionality?
