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?

This won't work for long diff lines as they'll be wrapped.

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

Sound like you've just been lucky :)

Thanks Jojo. I'll look into setting this up.

My previous point still stands though. The average person coming to the project with a simple idea or fix is probably not going to bother jumping through these hoops, especially when attaching via email or sending a pull request doesn't require the extra setup.

My experience with this up to this point makes it clear to me that some of the problem with the network graph being as messy as it is has to do with exactly this patch submission hurdle.
