I agree.  I don't really get what the difference is from just doing 
format-patch and sending the file.  If it's just about inlining them why not 
just use git format-patch ... --stdout | pbcopy and paste it into an email?

The inverse of that is how I'm actually applying them:
- copy to clipboard from email
- pbpaste | git am
