That's great!

So I went to apply this patch to the docs tree, but it fails to apply due
to whitespace problems of its own; something has corrupted your patch on
its way out to the mailing list.

Can I ask you to fix up your email client so that it doesn't do this?
Please have a look at Documentation/email-clients.txt for some hints; in
particular, there are things that can be done to bludgeon Thunderbird
(which you appear to be using) into a more cooperative state of mind.
Once you've done that, send the patch to yourself and try to apply the
result; after that works, please resubmit your patch here.

One comment, though: "checksum" (or "checksumming") is pretty standard
usage and shouldn't really be "fixed".

Thanks,

jon
