the beauty of git-bundles is when you are behind strong firewalls.

Of course, the reason why people use patches is historical and to pull
from repo is native in the git tool.

when I send patches from gmail, if they're not as attachment they
become corrupted :( (long line limit is at 70 characters).

no, anyone can pull (fetch+merge) bundles in any branch or repo as
they want: it's not the creator that has to do the merge.
