Aren't "patches in Git" just "patches"? Git can give you a patchfile that can be applied with "patch" regardless of VCS.

from GP: "I have patches in Git. If OpenBSD doesn't want to use it that's fine by me, and I wish them the best of luck. But let's be clear, it's not because we're telling them they can't use it."

I think he means he is a contributor to the source of `git` itself, and thus is justified in saying "we" in terms of not prohibiting OpenBSD's contributors from using the software he helps develop (git).

Correct. Thanks!
