You are not alone in feeling the impedance mismatch between the intended audience the patch(es) try to help (pointy-clicky GUI users) and the codebase the patch(es) modify (perhaps spartan command line interface). I did wonder why this is not made as a part of sugarcoating the command line interface with some GUI that shows what could be added, what has been added, and the stuff in its "git status" equivalent.
