Ok, found another one.  This time I looked at the patch itself, and it
is a bit "odd", but normal patch handles it fine.

The patch is:
--- gregkh-2.6.orig/drivers/usb/input/Makefile  2005-08-15 23:39:10.000000000 -0700
+++ gregkh-2.6/drivers/usb/input/Makefile       2005-08-16 12:31:54.000000000 -0700

 obj-$(CONFIG_USB_APPLETOUCH)   += appletouch.o

While the original drivers/usb/input/Makefile in this area is:
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_POWERMATE)     += powermate.o
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_WACOM)         += wacom.o
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_ACECAD)        += acecad.o
obj-$(CONFIG_USB_XPAD)          += xpad.o

(ignore tab issues, this was cut-and-pasted).

So, the patch shows that there was another line at the end of the file,
while in reality it isn't (this is due to me excluding a patch from the
series that I'm applying due to other reasons.)

Is this something that git can handle without me editing the patch by
hand?  :)

thanks,
