Thanks, but you need to fix your format-patch somehow.

This hunk claims that there are 8 lines in preimage and postimage, but it is not the case. It has only 7 lines each.

You also have the first line of the next patch "diff --git" somehow indented. How did this happen?

And again this claims that the preimage has 6 lines while the postimage has 14. Somebody is overcounting, or perhaps you removed the first pre-context by hand without adjusting the line number?
