Do they require patches to not be inline-in-body but attachments, or do 
they require attachments that don't have Content-Dispostion "inline"?

I contributed to a git-hosted project where they couldn't figure out how 
to handle inline-in-body patches, so I needed the possibility of sending 
attachments too. I don't think the attachment type matters. (Fortunately 
hg-git and push access saved me.)
