Yes, patch is one of the most permissive programs around. It will eat
_anything_. (And throw up on the carpet if it was just too wrong.)
There are two things in git patches that patch won't grok: rename/copy
patches, and binary patches. Neither feature is on by default, IIRC --
you have to give command line flags -- precisely so that "git diff"
default output will be patch compatible.
