Well I won't be adding that one :-)
Thinking about this more seriously, patch can be useful on text
files on
any system. git is only useful on systems where we're making git
checkouts. git-am, if I'm reading the man page right would only be
useful where we have git checkouts and are receiving patches via mail?
Git am works on any file generated with git format-patch. That is most
often used with email but it does encapsulate the author and the
commit message and has a checksum itself that can be verified against
the upstream repo. Probably not something we need in global.
