In order to apply a kernel patch diff'd against an older kernel, I ran
git checkout -b tmp v2.6.23
git-am --signoff --utf8 /g/tmp/mbox
The patch applied successfully, but each time I run this, it starts an
automated 'git gc' run... even if there is nothing useful to gc:
[jgarzik@pretzel netdev-2.6]$ git-am --signoff --utf8 /g/tmp/mbox

Auto packing your repository for optimum performance. You may also
run "git gc" manually. See "git help gc" for more information.
Counting objects: 1, done.
Writing objects: 100% (1/1), done.
Total 1 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
warning: There are too many unreachable loose objects; run 'git prune' to remove them.
IMO there is a broken hueristic in there somewhere... I regularly run
'git gc' on my repos...
