Maybe we should teach git-am to guess the strip level automatically :)
But you are right, for now.

No, this is coming from your tree, don't worry.

Actually we just have a script that does git-checkout
of several trees each into a separate subdirectory.

And it seems Jack works on several trees at the same time,
so he's using quilt at the top level to manage patches across them all,
and that's what he has sent you, instead of generating the
patches with git which would have gotten the right level,
but otehrwise equivalent.

Hope that's clear.
