I have tried to retrieve this patch :

It does not look as a regular diff ??? I suspect a problem in the script. I have absolutely no knowledge of the language used in this script, so I can't do more than report.
well, this type of issue has been introduced when I added the ability of listing the added files in a patch (before only the diffs to existing files were printed)
as of today, the added files are marked with the &&& mark (instead of the +++ and --- for the diffs), which of course causes some issues when you use the whole file as a patch (normally, all the added files are at the end; so the "easy" way of doing it is to remove that part, apply the patch, and then create the new files)
I was too lazy to use instead a cvs diff against /dev/null which should do most of what you'd expected
I'd say it's a documented feature ;-), I'll try to give it a look later on
A+
