Note I found bug 340501 but I believe this is slightly different. 

Commonly I get patches from users which must be applied on the command-line via the "git am" command. eGit should allow the application of these types of patches. 

Currently developers are required to either apply the patches outside of Eclipse on the command-line, or manually edit the file so it is in a format that eGit recognizes.
