Your patch has not been applied yet.  So no surprise there: your version 
of diff-lib.c is not there.  You'll have more luck with ae96c64, I 
guess...

My question was more: why do you do additional work and put a git diff 
--raw between the commit message and the diffstat when that information is 
in the patch already?

Ciao,
