Yes, git am has such an option. But git fetch (or pull) does not. I see no technical difference if someone provides me a patch as such, or in form of a git repository with this patch applied so I can just "git fetch" from it. In both cases the result would be exactly the same: I add the patch to my local repository. But in one case I am supposed to sign it (and tools offer me options to do so), but in the other case I cannot do that, even if I wanted?
