I don't use maildirs with git, but I have worked with them in the past,
and I think your patch is definitely an improvement.
However, I wonder if we could go one step further and just DWYM: if a
directory has "cur" or "new", treat it like a maildir (IOW, look in
there for patches), but otherwise treat it like a directory of
format-patch output.
