When I receive patches via mutt, I usually apply them with this:

  macro index,pager A '<pipe-message>git<space>am<enter>'

which will apply in your current directory. For my git folder, I use a
hook to always apply to my git repo:

  folder-hook git macro index,pager A
  '<pipe-message>cd<space>$HOME/compile/git<space>&&<space>git<space>am=
<enter>'

If there are several patches in a series, I may pull them into an mbox
and apply separately:

  [in mutt]
  T pattern [or tag message individually, or Esc-T to tag thread]
  ;C ~/name-of-patch-topic

  [in another terminal]
  cd /path/to/repo
  git am ~/name-of-patch-topic

To send one or two patches, I create an mbox and then use mutt to send:

  git format-patch -s --stdout "$@" >.mbox
  mutt -f .mbox
  rm -f .mbox

and in my muttrc:

  macro index,pager b ":set edit_headers=3Dyes<enter><resend-message>:s=
et edit_headers=3Dno<enter>"

Hope that helps,
