hello,
it seems that in case the second line of a commit message is not empty,
then git am strips newlines from the commit message. is this expected?
vmiklos@gaia:~/git/t$ git init

- foo - bar - baz
of maybe the solution would be that git format-patch inserts two
newlines after the subject - even if the second line would not empty
originally.
thanks,
