On top of current master you can do e.g.:

    vm git (master $=) $ wget -q -O- 
https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/raw | git 
am
    Applying: ident: test how GIT_* and user.{name,email} interact
    vm git (master $>) $ wget -q -O- 
https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/raw | git 
am
    Applying: config: allow giving separate author and committer idents

I also push these to https://github.com/avar/git.git although not always
in a timely manner...
