Email patch -> git commit?

Anyone have any good scripts for taking patches in email and turning them into git commits, preferrably while preserving the author information?

git-applymbox seems to be what you are looking for. It was named dotest in the old days.

Looks like it's not in cogito-0.12.1, which is why I didn't find it. I guess I'll wait until the layered cogito comes out, hopefully this week.

StGIT can do this as well, via the 'stg import -m' command. You will see it as a GIT commit (with 'git log') as well as an StGIT patch. It preserves the author information taken from the From: line (can be overwritten with command line options).
