I tried to apply this patch, but it looks like you hand-edited it which
made it impossible to apply.  Did you do that, or did git really create
this broken diff exactly as-is?

Try applying this patch yourself, you will see the error.  I could fix
it by manually editing the diff metadata but I really shouldn't have to
as that implies you did not test the patch you sent me :(

thanks,
