Yes, everybody interacts with am_state, and these fields are
supposed to be constant during the processing of each patch input
message; they should be simple strings, not strbufs, to make sure if
anybody _does_ muck with them in-place, that would be very visible.
The helpers to initialize them are free to use strbuf API to prepare
these simple string fields, of course.

Sure; the scripted Porcelain may have done "echo here, echo there"
instead of "concatenate into a $var and then 'echo $var' at end" as
that is more natural way to program in that environment. You are
doing this in C and "prepare the thing in-core and write it all at
the point to snapshot" may well be the more natural way to program.
As long as a process that stops in the middle does not leave on-disk
state inconsistent, batching would be fine. For example, you may
apply and commit two (or more) patches without updating the on-disk
state as you do not see need to give control back to the user
(i.e. they applied cleanly) and then write out the on-disk state
with .next incremented by two (or more) before giving the control
back could be a valid optimization (take this example with a grain
of salt, though; I haven't thought too deeply about what should
happen if you Ctrl-C the process in the middle).
