This is a re-roll of [v1]. Thanks Junio, Torsten, Jeff, Eric for the reviews last round. Previous versions: [v1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/270048 git-am is a commonly used command for applying a series of patches from a mailbox to the current branch. Currently, it is implemented by the shell script git-am.sh. However, compared to C, shell scripts have certain deficiencies: they need to spawn a lot of processes, introduce a lot of dependencies and cannot take advantage of git's internal caches. This WIP patch series rewrites git-am.sh into optimized C builtin/am.c, and is part of my GSoC project to rewrite git-pull and git-am into C builtins[1].
