My approach, if a patch used to apply cleanly and no longer does, is try
to "git checkout" a commit at about the time it passed, and then apply
there. I can review and test the whole thing, and provide useful input.
I can even attempt "git merge" to current branch head; sometimes the
conflicts are ignorable, or easily fixable.
(Of course, I have
[merge]
conflictstyle=diff3
in .gitconfig, which makes conflicts much easier to deal with, though
you have to learn how to interpret the conflict reports.)
