We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am". Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one. Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.
This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection. The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.
Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.
A test is added to t4150 to demonstrate this feature.

git-am and git-rebase are talkative scripts. Teach them to be quiet when
told, allowing them to speak only when they fail or experience errors.
The quiet option is maintained when git-am or git-rebase fails to apply
a patch. This means subsequent --resolved, --continue, --skip, --abort
invocations will be quiet if the original invocation was quiet.
Drop a handful of >&2 redirection; the rest of the program sends all the
info messages to stdout, not to stderr.

You can work a lot in one day to accumulate many changes, but

These options are meant to deal with patches that do not apply cleanly
due to the differences between the version the patch was based on and
the version "git am" is working on.
Because a series of patches applied in the same "git am" run tends to
come from the same source, it is more useful to propagate these options
after the application stops.

When you start "git am --whitespace=fix" and the patch application process
is interrupted by an unapplicable patch early in the series, after
fixing the offending patch, the remainder of the patch should be processed
still with --whitespace=fix when restarted with "git am --resolved" (or
dropping the offending patch with "git am --skip").
The breakage was introduced by the commit 67dad68 (add -C[NUM] to git-am,
2007-02-08); this should fix it.

"merge" and "reset" leave the original point in history in ORIG_HEAD,
which makes it easy to go back to where you were before you inflict a
major damage to your history and realize that you do not like the result
at all. These days with reflog, we technically do not need to use
ORIG_HEAD, but it is a handy way nevertheless.
This teaches "am" and "rebase" (all forms --- the vanilla one that uses
"am" as its backend, "-m" variant that cherry-picks, and "--interactive")
to do the same.
The original idea and a partial implementation to do this only for "rebase
-m" was by Brian Gernhardt; this extends on his idea.
