FWIW, my initial impression is that I seriously dislike this. It may be
good if the patch were to git-am, but when git-apply rejects an
inapplicable patch, there won't be nothing left for you to recover with
and you need to re-download the patch anyway.
Note that I said my "initial" impression. I reserve the right to change
my mind, as always ;-)
