Here's an alternate method for handling 'format-patch' failing. We remove the pipe between 'format-patch' and 'am' by storing the patch in an intermediate file. This means we can gurantee that 'am' is always invokved with the complete input.
I did some timing on rebasing 500 commits from the git repo. The patch file had a size of 6.9MB, but the overall timings between the pipe approach and intermediate file approach are approximately the same. I did the tests on a Linux machine, so I don't know what the impact would be on other platforms, or in repos with larger files and perhaps binary files.
