Indeed, and I've even changed my patch formats in haproxy to avoid brackets
due to this issue. The cause is that many patches are sent with a [PATCH]
prefix and that with Git, either you keep the subject line intact or you
remove everything that is between brackets. There's the -b option to only
remove remove tags looking like [PATCH], but my general experience with it
was not satisfying (I don't remind why).

Maybe the problem was as simple as "git am" not knowing about "-b".

I think you're quite right.

Two relevant patches:

  f7e5ea17 (am: learn passing -b to mailinfo, 2012-01-16)
  ee2d1cb4 (mailinfo: with -b, keep space after [foo], 2012-01-16)

are in "master" and 1.7.10-rc0 and were not part of any earlier release.

Kudos to Thomas for writing them.

Ah, thank you very much for this useful info, I'll update my version !

I don't see a -b option to 'git am' in the manpage, am I missing
something here?
