I cannot reproduce this on my Fedora 7 system with tk8.4.13 no matter how I try.
Could you please try to isolate which hunk causes the problem? You should be
able to remove them from bottom to top without any serious problems.


By the way, I experienced a similar problem while working on another patch
(although it required a more elaborate sequence of actions to trigger it), and
made a fix for it:

http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git?a=commitdiff;h=7272131b3e49879d3a7bedacad3cdb12ae678ee8

For some reason, now I cannot reproduce that either.
