Well, some reasons:

1. I am a sporadic git user and remembering all these git commands (and
    knowing all details what side-effects and pits to fall in they can have) is
    beyond my mental capacity...

2. doesn't this need a lot of disk space while a .patch file is just some 100 bytes?

3. how do I know the location and the hash code?

4. and is it the same as the one at gitorius (which has a different hex code)?

In my experience it may save hours if you see the right patch in
the Google web search results (mail or formatted) but you don't
find a way how to apply a diff/patch file by using git...

And generally if a patch does not apply cleanly I can try to resolve conflicts
and that may be as wrong as copy&paste :(

Using your commands the patch applied fine.

But noise is still there. So it must be something else.

Thanks,
Nikolaus
