Me either. I've had a bug report in the mozilla system for maybe four years concerning space-stuffing. Occasionally it comes to life but afaict nothing ever changes.
I expect it'd be pretty easy to undo the space-stuffing in git. In extremis I just do s/^ /^ / and it works. An automated solution would need to recognise the appropriate headers (Format=Flowed, iirc).

argh. That means that email contains two copies of the patch. So it applies with `patch --dry-run' then causes havoc with `patch'
