Blindly concatenating the above two and feeding them to "git apply" *may*
happen to work by accident, not by design.  This very much feels like a
hack of "This works most of the time for me, your mileage may vary" kind,
which we would want to avoid when we can.

Well, I changed my mind.  Let's run with this and see what happens.

In support of this being a feature of git-apply, notice that it even
handles the situation correctly where the context of a hunk has been
influenced by previous hunks, as in

@@ -1,2 +1,3 @@
 foo
+quux
 bar

@@ -1,3 +1,4 @@
 foo
 quux
+abc
 bar

With Don Zickus' recent patch, it also handles patches that go over
the same file twice.
