Description

I have a patch file and I want to load it into memory as Patch or so.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25085434/is-it-possible-to-apply-a-patch-using-libgit2sharp says libgit2 didn't have patch files parsing ready. I see it's there in place: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/pull/3223

Any plans to wrap it up under this lib?
