Instead of doing several "wget -O - url | git-apply -" in a raw, you now can just git-apply url1 url2 ...

After spending an afternoon wgetting patches to applying them, I got fed up and just added basic url support to git-apply. Note that the fwrite_strbuf function should just live in http.c, but until the http api is fully switched to use strbufs instead of its struct buffer (which I'm planning to do), it can stay like this.
