Now git-apply can grok binary replacement patches, give --binary
flag to git-am. As a safety measure, this is not by default
enabled, so that you do not let malicious e-mailed patch to
replace an arbitrary path with just a couple of lines (diff
index lines, the filename and string "Binary files "...) by
accident.

After failed patch application, you can manually apply the patch
(this includes resolving the conflicted merge after git-am falls
back to 3-way merge) and run git-update-index on necessary paths
to prepare the index file in a shape a successful patch
application should have produced. Then re-running git-am --resolved
would record the resulting index file along with the commit log
information taken from the patch e-mail.

Instead of having the user to edit the mail message, let the hand merge
result stored in .dotest/patch and continue, which is easier to manage.

When feeding patches from standard input, and --interactive is specified,
quit, so that the user can re-run the command, instead of infinitely
looping.

It reorganizes the code and also has saner command line options
syntax. Unlike git-applymbox, it can take more than one mailbox
file from the command line, as well as reading from the standard
input when '-' is specified.
