Odd, I don't know. I changed my script to try to handle git ids instead
of -rc only type base versions, and I probably messed something up. Let
me go verify that the above patch is still correct (I had to merge it by
hand...)
Yes, the original patch is correct, but somehow the -all patches are not
getting generated correctly. I'll go look into what broke in my
scripts. Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know.
