Is there a way to allow a patch import with fuzz?

jonsmirl@terra:~/ds$ stg import patches-i2c/jds-mpc-i2c-to-of
Checking for changes in the working directory ... done
Importing patch "jds-mpc-i2c-to-of" ...

Not currently. And it appears that git doesn't have this power either
-- and I guess if it's useful in StGit, its useful in git too, so I'm
not too keen on making StGit call "patch" or some such instead of
teaching git to do this. Then again, it'd be useful, and I doubt I'd
get around to teaching fuzz to git-apply any time soon ...

"git apply -C1 <patch>" doesn't do that Well, that isn't import per se)?
