Sometimes even different versions of Git have trouble talking to each other through patches (but not pulling and merging, but that’s another thing…). So your best bet is ‘patch’. It’s very flexible. The ‘-p3’ option strips three levels of leading directories from the file names (roughly speaking) and applies the patch(es) to whatever file names it is left with. So in my 0001-Markup-and-tagging-adjustments.patch for example, the most important lines (to the patch command) are the ones like:
