Using "From" to start commit message

[Thierry Reding]

Hi,

I've noticed something strange happening when a commit message starts
with the word "From". When downloading the commit as mbox, I see that
the line is "escaped" using a '>' character, which causes git am to
ignore the line.

This can be seen in the following patch for example:

	http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/330330/

I'm not familiar with the internals of patchwork, but I would expect
this to be perfectly legal in a commit message. I could imagine that
to be special treatment for From lines in mailboxes, but that should
not apply to the text in commit messages.
