Exactly. "git apply" works as a straight "patch" replacement outside
of a git repository. It doesn't actually need a git tree to work.
(Of course, "git apply" is _not_ a "patch" replacement in the general
sense. It only applies context diffs - preferentially git style ones -
so no old-style patches etc need apply. And it's not
replacement-compatible in a syntax sense either, in that while many of
the options are the same, not all are etc etc).
