It may make patching slightly more interesting though, as some users new to git-gui development may generate a patch in git.git (using a/git-gui/git-gui.sh as the path) which then would not apply as-is to the master git-gui development tree.In this case, a "-p <n>" option to git-am would make sense, no?Are you saying we just suddenly found a vaild use for a flag which nobody (except the original submitter) thought was useful? ;-) Yes, clearly a -p<n> on git-am would solve the problem quite nicely.
Actually, -p<n> option to git-am is also useful for piping patches to git-am directly from mail: sometimes people would generate a patch by hand and this results in patches incorrect -p level. -- MST
