Maybe the problem was as simple as "git am" not knowing about "-b".

Two relevant patches:

  f7e5ea17 (am: learn passing -b to mailinfo, 2012-01-16)
  ee2d1cb4 (mailinfo: with -b, keep space after [foo], 2012-01-16)

are in "master" and 1.7.10-rc0 and were not part of any earlier release.

Kudos to Thomas for writing them.

Jonathan
