git-am vs. git-applymbox

git-applymbox - Apply a series of patches in a mailbox
git-am        - Apply a series of patches in a mailbox

What are the differences between thos two commands, UI-wise and capability
(feature) wise? Which one should I use? Which one do _you_ use?


And why git has yet another set of commands which do the same (well,
git-annotate vs. git-blame "war" was won by git-blame, and git-pickaxe was
born).

By the way, could we standarize somewhat short options for git commands,
like -q for quiet, -v for verbose, -i for interactive, -S for pickaxe
(search in diff), -n for some kind of no-op/do nothing (e.g. --no-commit),
-f for force, -l for list, -k for skip errors/keep working even in the case
of errors? It would be nice to have this in Documentation/API somewhere...
