I send the patches to the maillist so that it's very easy to have a look
at them. You could get the diff in other ways if you know what tools to
use and what magic arguments to use, but that involves just enough work
that close to nobody will actually have a look.
You can apply all the patches in sequence using "patch" and you should
get the right code from that. But it's a lot easier using git and just
fetch the latest from github.
The patch format is one that includes all the information, also about
deleted files and special character handling. Git diffs normally don't
include that, you have to carefully specify what kind of diff it should
create (probably called a patch).
