#2093: try does not understand patches generated by git

Most of the time, you can use patches generated by git
with "buildbot try --diff=...". However, when git diffs a
binary file, it uses a different format, and patch silently
ignores those hunks, leading to mysterious failed builds.
Drupal's testbots (not buildbot-based) recently switched to using
'git apply' instead of 'patch' for just this reason; see
http://groups.drupal.org/node/141529
http://drupal.org/node/1107552
buildbot should probably do the same (at least when faced
with a git binary patch).
