Subject: git am and the wrong chunk of ---
Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2012 17:13:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5024523F.3050208@zytor.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have some contributors who consistently put their commentary *before* 
the "---" line rather than *after* it, presumably with the notion that 
it is some kind of "cover text".  This messes with "git am", and so I 
end up having to edit those posts manually.

I have tried git am --scissors and it doesn't seem to solve the problem.

Is there any other option which can be used to automatically process 
such a patch?
