I think this should be "options to git diff don't work".

I have two unrelated questions.

(1) Why do you post patches to the list, instead of committing them yourself?
(2) How do I apply a patch like this one to try to my tree? Am I expected to edit the mail message to remove everything before the shears mark before running the git-am command?
