Try this:

	git clone --depth=10 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.29.y.git
	wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.29.6-rt23-broken-out.tar.bz2
	tar xjf patch-2.6.29.6-rt23-broken-out.tar.bz2
	cd linux-2.6.29.y
	git checkout -b 2.6.29-rt v2.6.29.6
	stg init
	stg import -s ../patches/series

(Nice, 0.14.2-1 from Debian failed here, because of a line break in a
From: header.)

But still:

	stg goto include-linux-delay-h-in-hwlat_detector.patch
	git show --stat

yields:

	commit 12c06d44017a9c51746290779fc24fb8d69c68ef

There are some things to enhance:

  - s/Subject: //
  - use Date line as author date
  - stray email address
  - author ident is wrong/broken

If you look on arm-__builtin_return_address-works-with-argument-0.patch
there the author is broken in an other way:

	stg goto arm-__builtin_return_address-works-with-argument-0.patch
	git show | grep Author:

yields:

	Author: =?utf-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

Note that git quiltimport using git mailinfo gets all that right.
(e.g.

	git checkout -b 2.6.29-rt-quiltimport v2.6.29.6
	git quiltimport --author="do <nt@kn.ow>" --patches=../patches/)
	git log --author=Uwe
	git mailinfo msg patch < ../patches/include-linux-delay-h-in-hwlat_detector.patch
	cat msg
)

Best regards
Uwe
