Yeah, I guessed that you used git format-patch && git send-email, 
especially since there's a git version at the end of the patch.  The 
weird thing is that git always (AFAIK) writes (and needs) those a/ and 
b/ prefixes, so... I don't know.

If it repeats, I'll try to investigate the reason.

Thanks!
