Should cg-mkpatch output be usable with cg-patch?

I wander what I should do with "cg-mkpatch" generated output; I had the impression that this should be usable with "cg-patch", but these are incompatible with each other. Forexample. if a commit contains permission changes, my generated patch may look like this:

	...
	diff --git a/MAKEALL b/MAKEALL
	old mode 100644
	new mode 100755
	diff --git a/mkconfig b/mkconfig
	old mode 100644
	new mode 100755
	diff --git a/tools/img2brec.sh b/tools/img2brec.sh
	old mode 100644
	new mode 100755
	...

If I feed this into "cg-patch", I get:

	patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

-> rpm -q cogito cogito-0.12.1-1

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

I really hate this damned machine     It never does quite what I want
I wish that they would sell it.              But only what I tell it.
