git-applymbox was one of the first git porcelain scripts ever written,
by Linus. (In fact, it's original name of "dotest" is visible in some
of the temp files.) It has its rough edges, but Linus is used to it,
so it is retained for his convenience.
git-am is a rewrite with a nicer (but different) command line. If you
are starting, it's the one you should learn and use.
In particular, git-am has options like "--resolved" and "--skip"
for resuming from an interrupted patch series. Restarting
git-applymbox requires a detailed knowledge of its workings.
