Yes, the warning is still there with both 3.2 and a recent trunk build
but this patch squelches it.

There is one remaining warning on pu which hasn't been discussed in this
thread as far as I can see.  I'll send a patch shortly.

There's also a warning that triggers with clang 3.2 but not clang trunk, which
I think is a legitimate warning - perhaps someone who understands integer type
promotion better than me can explain why the code is OK (patch->score is
declared as 'int'):

builtin/apply.c:1044:47: warning: comparison of constant 18446744073709551615
    with expression of type 'int' is always false
    [-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
        if ((patch->score = strtoul(line, NULL, 10)) == ULONG_MAX)
            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^  ~~~~~~~~~
