A quick check of `git help log` suggests that you were asking `git log` 
to only output one record.  That it outputs the first Subject and not 
the last suggests that git-am may have only applied one patch instead of 
the whole series.

No, a push exactly transfers your local history and branch tip.

I seem to recall that that is what I have always had to do:  one message 
per file.

I suspect that you are having problems with git-mailsplit but I do not 
know how to fix the issue.
