It's probably the whitespace thing that Linus's git-apply gadget was

I'm terribly surprising, though, since my patch(1) applied the diff just
fine.
I could easily make git-apply accept empty lines as if they had a single
space on it. What I find surprising is that "patch" allows that kind of
whitespace corruption by default, and silently. Usually you have to give
it the "-l" flag to make it ignore whitespace differences..
patch(1) is a huge collection of heuristics like this, even without
'-l', so I'm not surprised that it worked.
Does git-apply support patches with "fuzz", out of curiosity?
