Let me put it a different way - if you won't accept git-am handling "git
show" output because "git show" has output that wasn't designed to be
parsed ever, would you be opposed to a patch that switches the "git
show" output to be something usable?
The output from the command is optimized for humans, but you could
invoke "git show --pretty=email" if you want to, so I do not think
you need any patch to do that.
