For the patch, I think I understand the concept (I never use git before and never apply a patch), I have to selection the diff text and save it into a file (let's say debug.patch)
Copy and paste sometimes screws up patches. Better to save the patch to a file some other way. In particular, I usually use wget.
For the patch you mentioned, one command to fetch the patch is wget http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/hacks.git/patch/2daf55e8eeca89d5c2bb82381151277b6f9...
http://marc.info/?l=wine-patches is another good place to search for uncommitted patches; that site does a good job of saving the patches as hyperlinks you can use with wget.
See also http://kegel.com/academy/opensource.html and http://kegel.com/wine/qa/ for a few tips.
