Are you the author of this tool?  The format is bogus in so far as it
causes git-am to insert the above lines into the git commit message, as
in:

    $ git am -3 < gitignore-patch.mbox
    Applying: gitignore: warn about pointless syntax
    $ git show
    commit 59bea4d9a1de3b3b9c0139de4298ffd9d9431457
    Author: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
    Date:   Mon Jan 9 12:34:12 2012 +0100

        gitignore: warn about pointless syntax
        
        parent eac2d83247ea0a265d923518c26873bb12c33778 (v1.7.9-rc0)
        commit b629bde461aeb178b257ab7e0f6c180f69f98cb0
        Author: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@medozas.de>
        Date:   Mon Jan 9 12:30:07 2012 +0100
        
        gitignore: warn about pointless syntax
    [...]

So using this tool over format-patch is just a pointless cause of manual
fixup work.
