Re: [Bug report] git format-patch + git am doesn't preserve original commit message

Oh, I see, thank you, it works.

But actually, I am not sure that it's "expected" behavior. I would
expect git to preserve original message by default without any
additional flags. Shouldn't `--keep-non-patch` flag in `git am` be
enabled by default then?

Steps to reproduce:

git init
git commit --allow-empty -m 'root'
echo foo > foo
git add .
git commit -m '[tag] foo'
git checkout @~
git format-patch master~..master
cat 0001-tag-foo.patch | git am

Expected: commit message generated by `git am` is `[tag] foo`
Actual: commit message generated by `git am` is `foo`

This is working as intended. See the "-k" option of git-am and
git-mailinfo (and also "-b" for mailinfo).
