 topic-diff contains each commit as a separate message

 so this needs some skill & care to rearrange the pieces
 and end up with legal input to git-am

Doh, right, I was thinking "git apply" actually.  (Apply the whole thing
as  single diff - the comments from each commit in the middle should get
ignored.)

Note that I don't believe there is any need to combine the hunks, just
stick them there in order and it *should* do the right thing.

Perhaps I'd like to have:

 git diff SHA-where-I-branched..HEAD

but I don't see the way to compute the SHA-where-I-branched

git-merge-base topic master ?
