Git format shouldn't matter: I apply those to branches all the time with
`patch'. The probable cause is the leading path on that patch.
The paths in the patch are all prefaced with: "a/gdb/gdbtk/generic" [or
"b/gdb/gdbtk/generic"]. So depending on what source directory you are
sitting in, you need to specify something other than "-p0" to `patch'.
If the CWD is (from CVS) src/gdb/, then you need -p2. If the CWD is
src/, you need -p1. If you are sitting in src/gdb/gdbtk/generic/, yes,
you need -p4 to ignore the first for directory components in the patch.
