Subject: Applying patches in a directory that isn't a repository

Hi,
I'm trying to use git for software distribution.
The system is a directory of about 450mb comprising binaries,
datafiles and scripts. The
full repository is about 1.1gb. The users don't really need .git
except when we
login to pull upgrades for them. It would be nicer not to have the
.git directory and
just distribute patches which we would apply for our users.
But "git am" needs (AFAIK) a full repository. Is there a way to apply
a patch without
.git being present?
I can see the advantages of our users having the full repository, so maybe
we should just distribute by DVD (currently we use CDs) and forget
about it, but for
download purposes, 450mb is nicer than 1.1gb.
Cheers,
Geoff Russell
