I don't think git am has any UI that helps with rebasing the rejects, 
and -3 is often not useful here, as we don't have the commit history, if 
the source is coming from tarball.

What you need to do here is to use git am --reject, which would 
partially apply the patch, then find all the *.rej files and let the 
user manually edit them in, then complete the patch application with git 
am --continue.
