Oh, I see you already took my suggestion before I made it. :) The text looks good to me, but the patch would not apply here. I think there are some wrapping issues, and it looks like some tabs have been mangled to spaces. Also, it is generally a good idea to: - at least cc Junio on patch submissions to make sure he sees it - sign off your patch (either with commit -s or format-patch -s). Here is an unmangled version of the patch.
