Creating the patches is fairly easy.
1) Take the email with the patches in it and cut out the #+begin_src
and #+end_src lines and everything in front of the first patch so
the file is just the 3 patches consecutively.
2) Save the file (I put mine in /tmp/patch)
3) Create a local topic branch for these patches
$ git checkout -b clock-report-by-property origin/master
4) Apply the patches to create the 3 commits on this branch
$ git am /tmp/patch
Then try it out.
I've done the above steps and pushed the result to
git://git.norang.ca/org-mode.git ng/clock-reports-by-property
after fixing up the email address since git doesn't like the <at>
syntax provided in the mail.
I have not fixed the changelog entries for these patches but they
should be fine for just giving it a trial run.
You can grab the patches from my git repository with
$ git fetch git://git.norang.ca/org-mode.git ng/clock-reports-by-property
This will create a temporary ref called FETCH_HEAD which you can check
out.
$ git checkout FETCH_HEAD
and later just go back to your master with
$ git checkout master
