Maybe you want to start from this patch (only compile-tested):

-- snipsnap -- [PATCH] WIP: allow git-apply to fix up the line counts

Sometimes, the easiest way to fix up a patch is to edit it directly, even adding or deleting lines. Now, many people are not as divine as certain benevolent dictators as to update the hunk headers correctly at the first try.

So teach the tool to do it for us.
