Ok, that is what I missed when I mentioned ignore-if-in-upstream, iow, I thought "patch-cmp" were merely to check for failed detection of duplicates by format-patch. If you are editing the mbox file and let the patches sit there while origin/master may be progressing, then that is an entirely different story.
