Damn.

It patches just fine if you use "git apply".

The problem? I had enabled rename detection in my .gitconfig due to 
testing a git patch, and forgotten all about it. So when I generated the 
patch, it had rename detection on. And so part of the patch looks like

	diff --git a/arch/arm/configs/xm_x2xx_defconfig b/arch/arm/configs/cm_x2xx_defconfig
	similarity index 83%
	copy from arch/arm/configs/xm_x2xx_defconfig
	copy to arch/arm/configs/cm_x2xx_defconfig
	index 1039f36..797b790 100644
	--- a/arch/arm/configs/xm_x2xx_defconfig
	+++ b/arch/arm/configs/cm_x2xx_defconfig
	@@ -1,7 +1,7 @@
	 #
	 # Automatically generated make config: don't edit
	-# Linux kernel version: 2.6.27-rc8
	-# Sun Oct  5 11:05:36 2008
	+# Linux kernel version: 2.6.29-rc2

	...

and other parts just contain pure renames, and "patch" obviously won't 
understand any of that.

My bad. I didn't mean to leave people without git out in the rain. I've
re-uploaded a fixed one that doesn't have those git features..

Alessandro - did you also do things by applying that patch? Maybe your 
compile failure can be explained by the same thing, and just comes from 
not noticing the patch apply failure.

Sorry about that. The fixed patch is on master.kernel.org and should be 
mirroring out asap. And I've fixed my .gitconfig, and hopefully this won't 
happen again.
