Hm, have you pushed all of the recent changes public?  I get the
following when trying to apply a patch:
$ ../git-tools/dotest < ~/linux/patches/usb/usb-visor-tapwave_zodiac.patch 
 mailsplit <mbox> <directory>
$

I set my PATH to point to the git-tools/ directory: $ which mailsplit /home/greg/linux/git/git-tools/mailsplit

Any thoughts?

thanks,
