[Wine] What should I do with this patch?

[IWK]

Hi.

I'm trying to run Spore, and I noticed that this patch is supposed to solve the problem where the server can't be found:

Pardon my ignorance, but how do I use it? I have searched for information about this, but to no avail.
Also, which version of GIT should I use? Found a lot of different packages here:

(I use Debian Lenny)

Thanks in advance,

Ike
