I am very confused. The testbot failed to apply the patch, and after some experimentation I was able to reproduce the failure but I don't understand why git is behaving like it is.
I normally test a patch with: git apply 0001*.patch git apply 0002*.patch git apply 0003*.patch ...
That worked properly with this patchset, and I thought that would be the same as running it all at once like: git apply *.patch
It appears that I was wrong though. Lesson learned. I will run the latter command from now on.
That being said, I have a tweak to the patch that does appear to make it apply cleanly for me, but I don't want to spam the list.
