see why (yet):


|diff --git a/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt b/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
|index 334ef2f..0a9c66a 100644
|--- a/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
|+++ b/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
--------------------------
Patching file Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt using Plan A...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 5.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 1373.
Hmm...  The next patch looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
