Not everyone is deep in mailing-list lore :-) -- we can help anyway.

Howard, I see you're wondering about it: http://www.idallen.com/topposting.html

Oh, yes there is, specially for newcomers used to patch, and how it
handles conflicts.

In this case, I happen to know that Howard is a refugee from CVS land
(the moodle project in this case), and he is familiar with the output
of patch if things go wrong.

It's not what I'd recommend to someone that is deep in git-land. But
even myself (with a bit of code in git) sometimes use patch when
git-apply tries to be too clever and I just want a damn .rej file to
review and edit with emacs.

cheers,
