[PATCH] make dotest more amenable to commit message editing
This makes "dotest" a lot nicer to sue, especially for people who were
used to editing the commit comments after-the-fact in BK, which git
doesn't apply.
he syntax is
dotest [-q] mailbox [signoff]
so the command line operates exactly as you're used to. If you supply
the -q it will query before applying (I also added the [a]pply all the
rest option). If the signoff file is absent, no signoff line gets
added.
There's also one addition in this: a checkout-cache line. I added that
for poor saps like me whose laptop takes minutes to checkout a full
build tree, so I can run dotest in a directory with no checked out
files.

Add quotes around the subject line that we print out as being applied.
My brain just flipped when it tried to read the "Applying" as part
of the explanation of the patch, and the sentence didn't make any
sense. The quotes make it clear what's going on.

Add "dotest" and "applypatch" scripts to actually make things useful.
Also updates "mailinfo" to write the file list.

Add "applypatch" and "dotest" scripts to tie it all together.
This should be getting it all pretty close to a working setup.

Start of early patch applicator tools for git.
I looked a bit at my old BK tools for the same thing, but they were
just so horrid in many ways that I largely rewrote it all and these
tools do things a bit differently. Instead of aggressively piping
data from one process to another (which was clever but very hard
to follow), this first just splits out the mbox into many smaller
email files, and then does some scripts on these temporary files.
