I quite like the concept and it was easy to get started, but I didn't 
have a lot of success applying patches - I tried one from Rob, Ricardo 
and Manolis. Rob's patch was malformed, while Ricardo's and Manolis' was 
empty.

e.g.

$ patches apply id:87h9emxnk5.fsf@elephly.net
Patch is empty. Was it split wrong?
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

I'm running that version of patches that you just pushed Ludo. Have you 
had a similar experience?
