An earlier patch 87ab7992 broke applymbox by blindly copying piece
from git-am, causing a harmless but annoying series of error messages.

I am working on a project that required parsing through regular
mboxes that didn't necessarily have patches embedded in them. I
started by creating my own modified copy of git-am and working
from there. Very quickly, I noticed git-mailinfo wasn't able to
handle a big chunk of my email.
After hacking up numerous solutions and running into more
limitations, I decided it was just easier to rewrite a big chunk
of it. The following patch has a bunch of fixes and features
that I needed in order for me do what I wanted.
Note: I'm didn't follow any email rfc papers but I don't think
any of the changes I did required much knowledge (besides the
boundary stuff).
List of major changes/fixes:
- can't create empty patch files fix
- empty patch files don't fail, this failure will come inside git-am
- multipart boundaries are now handled
- only output inbody headers if a patch exists otherwise assume those
headers are part of the reply and instead output the original headers
- decode and filter base64 patches correctly
- various other accidental fixes
I believe I didn't break any existing functionality or
compatibility (other than what I describe above, which is really
only the empty patch file).
I tested this through various mailing list archives and
everything seemed to parse correctly (a couple thousand emails).
[jc: squashed in another patch from Don's five patch series to
fix the test case, as this patch exposes the bug in the test.]

"empty ident not allowed" error makes commit-tree fail, so we
are already safer in that we would not end up with commit
objects that have bogus names on the author or committer fields.
However, before commit-tree is called there are already changes
made to the index file and the working tree. The operation can
be resumed after fixing the environment problem, but when this
triggers to a newcomer with unusable gecos, the first question
becomes "what did I lose and how would I recover".
This patch modifies some Porcelainish commands to verify
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT as soon as we know we are going to make some
commits before doing much damage to prevent confusion.

Now all the users of this script detect its exit status and die,
complaining that it is outside git repository. So move the code
that dies from all callers to git-sh-setup script.

The git-am script is nowhere called and nowhere (including itself)
explained, and the name isn't helpful either. For those like me who will
wonder what is it about, add some documentation stub for it to the
documentation.
I probably got something wrong and I don't feel like investigating all the
options - this is just kind of "emergency" docs.

Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros, different precision
can be specified for the generated filenames.

When you are applying 200 mails in sequence, .dotest/ directory
will be littered with many messsages, and when the patch in one
of them fails to apply, it is not obvious which message was
being processed. Remove the one that has been already dealt
with, so that the last failed one is found typically as the
lowest numbered split message.

After git-apply fails, attempt to find a base tree that the patch
cleanly applies to, and do a three-way merge using that base tree into
the current index, if .dotest/.3way file exists. This flag can be
controlled by giving -m flag to git-applymbox command.
When the fall-back merge fails, the working tree can be resolved the
same way as you would normally hand resolve a conflicting merge.
When making commit, use .dotest/final-commit as the log message
template. Or you could just choose to 'git-checkout-index -f -a'
to revert the failed merge.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
