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,
