If the script wanted to be "more correct", it should be paying
attention to the $len it already parses out of the hunk headers to
make sure it does not mistake removal of a line that begins with "--
" as the beginning of a patch to a different path, but as the
original does not seem to aim to be so careful anyway, this change
should be OK, I would say.
The patch was whitespace damaged, by the way. It was easy to hand
tweak so there is no need to resend this particular patch, but if
you are planning to send more patches, please check your MUA and
tell it not to.
Thanks.
