... how do I apply a single "change", identified
by its SHA?  Either from one branch to the other or
remote?

I.e. I want to "integrate" only that change?

$ git-cherry-pick $object_name

Ok, so git searches the db (other branches, etc) and
does the job.  This worked for me.

How will I do this same thing but if the "change" is
on a remote repository?

Alternatively, how do I apply the absolute output of
"git-format-patch".  I tried but whatever I tried with
complained that it couldn't find any email addressess.
(roll eyes here)

It is unclear what you mean by absolute output, but here is what
I regularly do:

$ git-format-patch -k -m --stdout from to | git am -3 -k

I did 
$ git-format-patch commit^ commit

and the usual 0001-blah-blah file got created.  Then
I tried to apply it, but whatever I tried it complained.
Will "git-am -3 -k" work without complaining there is
no "email field" or something?  (I cannot try it as
git-cherry-pick worked for me already.)

Thanks,
