At least the inner one could become easier to read by losing one
level of nesting, e.g.
case "$l2,,$l3" in
"Author: *",,"Date: ")
found it
;;
esac
I wonder what the severity of the damage if we misidentify the patch
format in this function would be? If it is severe enough, the check
for the first line may want to become a bit more strict to avoid
misidentification (e.g. expr "$l1" : 'commit [0-9a-f]\{40\}$').
Perhaps we don't care. I dunno.

So each input file is expected to be nothing but an output from "git
show" for a single commit; in other words, not concatenation of
them, nor just an e-mail message that has "git show" output
copy&pasted in the body with some other cruft, but plausibly was
delibered as a separate attachment file.
I somehow was visualizing that you were trying to accept mails I
sometimes see here like:
From: somebody
Date: someday
Hi, a long winded discussion that talks about the motivation
behind the patch comes here.
commit 4d8c4db13c8c4c79b6fc0a38ff52d85d3543aa7a
Author: A U Thor <author@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Sep 11 12:34:56 2012 +0900
a one liner that just says "bugfix" and nothing else
diff --git ....
and that was one of the reasons I thought (but didn't say in my
responses) "Why bother? When running 'am' on such a message you
will have to edit the message to move things around anyway".
If the target is a stand-alone "git show" output, at least we do not
have to worry about such a case.

Where does "^From" come from? Should this be /^Date: / instead?

This reminds me of another reason why I am hesitant to make "am"
take output from "git show". Unlike format-patch output, "Author:"
and "Date:" in its output, because it is meant for human
consumption, might be a fair game for i18n/l10n (the first line
"commit [0-9][a-f]{40}" is not likely to change, though).
