Greg - please fix your crazy tools. Look at this:

   git log fs/sysfs/dir.c

and tell me why the f*&% you have commit messages like this:

      sysfs: use rb-tree for name lookups

The "crazy" tool was using 'git am'.  The problem was that I missed the
fact that the first line of the patch sent to me duplicated the subject
line.  It's a really common problem when people generate patches and
send them off by email, I just forgot to edit the patches from Mikulas
to remove them, my fault, sorry.
