I have a patch file created by git format-patch.

Applying it via git am changes the subject prefix.
Anyone know why?

$ git --version
git version 2.1.2

$ git am -i 0002-staging-ft1000-Logging-message-neatening.patch
Commit Body is:
--------------------------
staging: ft1000: Logging message neatening

Use a more common logging style.

o Convert DEBUG macros to pr_debug
o Add pr_fmt
o Remove embedded function names from pr_debug
o Convert printks to pr_<level>
o Coalesce formats and align arguments
o Add missing terminating newlines

Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
--------------------------
Apply? [y]es/[n]o/[e]dit/[v]iew patch/[a]ccept all 

choosing "Y" emits:

Applying: ASoC: staging: ft1000: Logging message neatening

ASoC:? where does that come from?

```

Looks like you have an apply-patch-msg hook installed. What does the
output of 'ls -l .git/hooks' look like.

Correct.  I didn't look there.  Thanks.
