When designing parsers, the rule is to be strict in what you emit and
liberal in what you accept.  I think that's also a good rule when it
comes to handling patches in an open source project.  Creating a script
to import a git patch series would be a one-time process, and it lowers
to bar of entry for potential contributors.

But I'll suck it up and learn to push my patches through Mercurial.  I'm
still going to use git and hg-git for my development though, because the
workflow is so ingrained.
