Alternatively, the system could also have an option for further
fine-tuning what to do with git patches

It is better to use "git am" when possible to preserve the commit messages and
the mail format in general for patches when those are present. A typical use
case is when developers would like to keep the changes on top of the latest
upstream, and they may occasionally need to rebase. This is not possible with
"git diff" and "diff" generated patches.

Since this is not always the case, the fallback would be the "git apply"
operation which is currently available.

Looking at this, is it possible to detect a git patch and only then use git am? Since most of the patches carried in oe-core and other layers the 'git am' will typically fail and increase the build time since it will have to re-run the git apply, we don't want to had more forking and work in the main hot path.

I am not the expert in this, neither is RP, so maybe Chris can comment further.

Thanks
