No, I don't think I tweaked it at all. You can fetch the original commit (888b4eb) at:

  git://github.com/peff/git.git jk/fsck-docs

Running "git show" produces the same output as the patch I sent. I double-checked with older versions of git, and they all produce the same output for me. Ditto for applying what I sent and running "git show" on the result.

Using "--patience", on the other hand, does find it as a common line, Weird.
