Folks should really use git, or quilt, or guilt, or git quilt-import, or
for that matter, *anything* that at least checks exit status.

I like the fact that "git am" is quite strict about what it accepts
and applies, so I'll typically wrap things around that core operation. 

Here is a completely trivial example of using git am:

cat `grep ^[a-zA-Z0-9] series` > /tmp/foo.mbox
git am /tmp/foo.mbox
