Looks like this part easy to cause `git am` misunderstanding[1], Hmm...
any method to deal with that?

hint: Use 'git am --show-current-patch=diff' to see the failed patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
