Make import command reject patches that resemble email messages.
See changeset 120aa5fc7ced1bf765b4f025f5a3a138cd87f49e for an example

import [-p <n> -b <base> -f] <patches>::
Import a list of patches and commit them individually.
+ If a patch looks like a mail message (its first line starts with
+ "From " or looks like an RFC822 header), it will not be applied
+ unless the -m option is used. The importer neither parses nor
+ discards mail headers, so use -m only to override the "mailness"
+ safety check, not to import a real mail message.
+
options:
-p, --strip <n> directory strip option for patch. This has the same
meaning as the corresponding patch option
-b <path> base directory to read patches from
-f, --force skip check for outstanding uncommitted changes
+ -m, --mail-like apply a patch that appears to be a mail message
