If the series of patches you are applying via git-am was based in a
different directory there was no way to strip the directory (as you
would with git-apply).

This patch adds a --patchdepth option to git-am.sh whose argument is
passed as a "-p" option to git-apply.

[...]

I do not understand this remark, as applypatch does not have -p
either.  If we were to do this, I agree with others that this
should simply be called -p (we do not have name crash with
existing options, do we?).

Perhaps options should be -p as short version, and --patchdepth 
(or --strip as in GNU patch) as long version?
