Hi Mark,

The quilt-import.log from 20140829 says:

$ git am --patch-format=mbox ../quilt/rd-docs/001-docum-use-subdiry-avoid-builtin.patch

and in the 20140905 git tree it says:

$ git am ../quilt/rd-docs/001-docum-use-subdiry-avoid-builtin.patch
Patch format detection failed.


Are you using Stephen's scripts?  Why would his tree apply patches with
--patch-format=mbox
while the later trees did not use that git-am option?

Thanks.
