How should I apply this? 
My current approach:
copy patch from mail
paste into text file.
type git-apply <text file>
that leaves me with Gerhards changes in the index&working tree.
If I commit that, I have to specify a commit message, and the commit
will have my name and email adress as author. Is this correct?
Isn't it supposted to be Gerhards name and email to show up in the git
log after the commit? (eg like here
http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=installer.git )
