Is there a reason for using "patch" instead of "git am" on let's say the
kernel.
If I want to do some modification, of the kernel, I can like Graeme

http://www.slimlogic.co.uk/2011/05/openembeddedangstrom-kernel-workflow/ do
bitbake -c configure virtual/kernel
and then have an initialized git tree ready to be modified.
"git am" is of course more sensitive to the patch quality than "patch"
but that has some advantages as well.
Not answering the question directly, but if you use the linux-yocto
kernel and related infrastructure, patch is not used to apply changes
to the tree. It is done under the covers with guilt or git am applying
changes to the tree (along with other git operations for more complex
situations).

It also makes the recipe more complex at this stage.
