When you do:
git diff > a-patch.patch
git reset --hard
git apply a-patch.patch

the a-patch.patch file doesn't contain a header like this one:
```
>From 7ae32701d13295eb380455af885eaf466303368c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Hartmut Goebel <address@hidden>
Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2016 21:15:00 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] kde porting aids
```

and git am fails when it's applied. The same is true for git format-patch
and git apply.
