But maybe they would be willing to install git to get that wonderful
git-apply program, and that wonderful rename-and-mode-aware git-diff, and
the git-merge-file program, all of which can operate outside of a git
repository. (Take that, hg!)

How about shipping just these commands as a separate package?
Is that a cray idea?

Or people could submit a bug report/feature request/patch to the
patch(1) maintainer.  :-)
