Doesn't really matter. These days, my workflow is so git-centric that a 
simple "git pull" is a tiny simpler just because it's what I do day in and 
day out, and doesn't involve exporting a patch and applying it - but the 
difference is really so small that it matters not at all. And applying the 
patch as a patch avoids a sily merge for a trivial change.

So it really can go both ways. I'll take the patch this time, because I 
happened to be in my "gather up patches" mode (which in turn is mostly 
because your subject said "PATCH" rather than "GIT PULL" - I had ignored 
the email while in my "git pull" phase). Which just goes to show how 
little I care, and how small details make me do one over the other.

So I think you should just base it on how convenient it is for you. 

But if you have even just two patches, I probably prefer a "git pull". 
But again, it's not a big deal.
