I think we need all of them...
- git apply is unable to apply the patch in 5272 on top of main
- git am, works with that 5272, but cannot apply any patch not created
by git format-patch (for instance 5522)
- I've been unable to get patch(1) not to return a failure if the
patch is already applied. So applying e.g. 5522 twice. git apply
handles that fine.
