Thats indeed a problem, 'git am -3' works only for git patches. For other patches you should use 'git apply'. There are several flags for "broken" patches, but it has of course no merging as git am. > Sometimes I find myself applying one-liner patches by hand.

I use offlineimap to get the patches (I configured gmail to tag them) and store it in the mbox format. Then I use 'git am -i' to review and apply them. > > Also, I find the git rebase/merge conflict resolution to be slightly more > user friendly than git am's.
