[PATCH] git-am: head -1 is obsolete and doesn't work on some new systems

From: Alejandro Mery <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:44:46
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

head -<n> was deprecated by POSIX, and as modern versions of coreutils
package don't support it at least one exports _POSIX2_VERSION=199209
it's fails on some systems.

head -n<n> is portable, but sed <n>q is even more.
