I imagine that git really wants the changeset identifiers to match and 
complains if they don't. Standard diff and patch can obviously get around this 
by not caring. ;-)

Yes, the last patch was somehow mislabelled, whereas the new one referenced 
the correct changeset identifiers in its name. Unfortunately, these changesets 
don't mean anything if the repository history is not shared.

Maybe I should try and work on the branch of the gta04-kernel repository that 
you set up. At least then the changeset identifiers will have a meaning when 
you apply the patches.
