If you have access to the command line on your host, you just need patch, not git. If you don't have command line access, we need to do something else.

What version of MW do you use?

You can patch the file by hand by downloading includes/specials/SpecialUserlogin.php and editing the file by had according to what is in the patch file. Wherever the file as a line that starts with "+ ", you add that line. Where it starts with "- ", you remove that line. The surrounding lines give you context.
