I admit I didn't test that when I ported Git to Haiku, since I don't  
like the concept either. It was not a preliminary port, it "should"  
work out of the box now, with appropriate make parameters (cf.  
HaikuPorts).
Git it said to work on Windows btw, which is not UNIX. ;)

In case for whatever reason `git format-patch` misbehaves, you can  
still use plain `git diff`.
