Sorry about that, that's poor wording on my part. I don't mean "CVS won't barf" -- I meant that GNU Patch can still apply the patch without the meta-data referencing git still. I think though this "--no-prefix" option might just do it.
Update your gnu patch. Never versions know how to handle the git specific metadata (gnu patch simply ignores it).
And the a/, b/ prefix is *not* git specific. Pretty much all versions of a patch program know how to deal with that, you just need to use -p1 on the commandline.
