Well, if someone send a patch using “git show” instead of “git format-patch”, just ask to resend ?
And the learning curve is … almost inexistant, there is nothing to learn. “git am path_to_the_patch” and you are done.
You can even solve the download part by running "git am” and copy-pasting the content of the diff
