Re: [PATCH] git-am: Handle "git show" output correctly

Well, if that happens, maybe we could regexp match on

I doubt that would be even reliably done.

But we could
also just wait to cross that bridge until we get to it?

Not really.  If we start encouraging people to use "git show" output
as a kosher input to "am", we would have to support such use
forever, and we end up painting ourselves in a corner we cannot get
out of easily.
