I suggest that should be "git am", as an existing known format for email 
patch submissions, for any case except where the patch has already been 
committed (and really "git am" format could probably be used there as 
well), the patch would be excessively large (whether because of large 
generated files or otherwise) or the patch contains mixed character sets 
which require it to be attached in compressed form to avoid it being 
mangled.  We can discuss details regarding e.g. scissors lines, but I 
think we should still aim for patch submissions that are valid for "git 
am" in some form - and in particular, that use "git am" markings to 
separate the commit message from other remarks (e.g. differences between 
revisions of the patch) that are not intended as part of the commit 
message.
