Review of attachment 214729 [details] [review]:

Could you please give a git-formatted patch, so as to not lose authorship.

Sorry, but I am just providing upstream some patches that we wrote internally
to get stuff building.  We normally do our build patches based on tarballs
instead of in git.  I normally run "gpatch urp file1 file2" to build patches.
Is there something you can run to build a git-formatted patch when you are
using the code from a tarball to make a patch?

This is a trivial patch, and contains no interesting authorship.  I claim no
particular ownership over such an obvious 1-line solution.

$ git init && git add --ignore-errors .; git commit -m "`basename $PWD`"
[make changes]
$ git commit -a
$ git format-patch -1
[provide patch]
