Yeah, I was wrong about git supporting mboxo. IIRC, "mbox" used by git relies on strict "From " line parsing so it looks for something that looks like asctime(3) output. IOW, "mbox" for git does its own weird thing, which also sucks. However, git's "mboxrd" (AFAIK) does the right thing (since I contributed it to git :>) -- unsubscribe: one-click, see List-Unsubscribe header archive: https://public-inbox.org/meta/
