Sorry, I am lost here.  git-mailsplit is to read an existing
mbox and split the pieces of e-mail into the specified output
directory.  The recent Maildir support is to make it read pieces
of e-mails from an existing Maildir (which presumably have bunch
of files that store e-mail), isn't it?

If the patch were about creating a new _output_ directory (that
is, "dir" in cmd_mailsplit), I would understand what you are
trying to do, but why would you even want to create the input
Maildir in that loop (I take that your patch is on top of
Fernando's patch)?
