maybe it's just a git problem. This is a nice manual:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html
if you patch is in a remote (or local) git repo you just need to user
git-pull to merge the patch in your local branch. if it's in a file in
diff format, you can use git-apply.
hope this helps.
