The advantage is that patch application will resolve some file content conflicts for us, so that we'll fall back to merge-recursive less often. This is a significant speedup, especially since merge-recursive needs to touch the worktree, which means we have to check out the index first. (A simple test, pushing 250 patches in a 32k-file repository, with one file-level merge necessary per push, went from 1.07 to 0.36 seconds per patch with this patch applied.)
