I'm not sure if having different defaults is convenient or confusing but don't feel that strongly about it. I've got a few minor comments below (the mains ones are saying which commit has been dropped and testing the default behavior when --empty is not given) but basically I like the new patch.

Heh, in https://lore.kernel.org/git/404424d7-f520-8f89-efef-ca03e66fcd43@gmail.com/ you argued that having different defaults was confusing and sounded like you felt strongly about it.

Something like > dropping <oid> <subject> - patch contents already upstream I was actually just trying to mimic the am-backend here, and copied its message verbatim for this case (see am_run() in builtin/am.c).
