I think "git apply" refuses to apply a patch if it doesn't apply
exactly. So you could use "git apply -3" (which merges) or just plain
old "patch" and the patch would work fine.

If the criteria is that strict, I think we should relax it a bit to
avoid punting patches for pointless reasons. IOW I think we should at
least try "git apply -3".

Also, at this point this should surely be just an experiment.
