(Whiteboard: [try-server]) 

Mercurial produces patches in the the git format, but 'patch' doesn't understand git binary patches. In order to test patches that add / modify images, the try server needs to apply hg patches with 'git-apply' rather than 'patch'. (Currently if your patch contains new images that must be added to jar.mn files as well, the build fails since the images aren't in place for the jar packaging.)

Priority: -- → P3
Note: you can do this with `hg import` instead, which we know is already present on those machines ;-)
