The 2 lines above should have been on one line.  Looks like your mail client is
splitting lines where they shouldn't be split.  Some clients have config
options for that...   (I fixed it in your patch.)
Please see if Documentation/email-clients.txt can help you any.

The line above should end with a space character as in the current source file
that is being patched.  Maybe your email client stripped it.  Please fix your
email client for future patches.

The line above should be indented more since it is a continuation
of the comment above it.  I fixed that.

Patch applied.  Or would you like to see if you can send the patch
with all of these minor annoying problems fixed?

Thanks.
