The other way around, I import git patches into quilt for the stable
series, and then when sending emails out, quilt messes up the subject
lines because it was split across two lines.

Do the following:
 $ git show --pretty=email 21d17dd2a377ba894f26989915eb3c6e427a3656

and look at how the Subject line is formatted:
	Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: Fix setting update bits for WM8753_LADC and
	 WM8753_RADC

Which is legal for email subject lines.  But quilt can't handle this and
ends up thinking the data after the Subject: line is part of the patch
text body and messes stuff up when doing 'quilt mail' later.

So I have to remember to edit the subject: lines all the time, and
cringe when I forget.

Oh, then there's the issue of quilt not handling ',' in a Signed-off-by
line as a valid email address name, but I've been living with that one
for years...

thanks,
