Is there any hope (format-patch)??

Hi!

Is there any hope with following procedure:
I took reporitory from linux git:
# git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

For getting patches to make recent version from v2.6.26-rc3 I executed:
# git format-patch -o patchdir v2.6.26-rc3..origin

This produced 9486 patches, two of which were empty. They both appeared 
to have two references in git.kernel.org archive so that newer ones were 
empy.

Then I checked out v2.6.26-rc3 to a new branch and patched it with 
at91patch/maxim.org.za that was produced against v2.6.26-rc3. That 
worked out without complaints.

Then I ran:

#git quiltimport --patches patchdir

I suppose, it was the fourth patch of 9486 that failed. Fail did not 
come from any of those parts patched with at91 patch. Is this anything 
that should work? at91 patch fails if I try it right-away over the HEAD 
branch.

cheers,
