That comes from not knowing who is complaining and what it is reading. In this case, "git apply" issues a warning because it is fed .git/rebase-apply/patch file, which is the output of mailinfo that parses header & log message out, leaves the message in a separate 'msg' file in the same directory and stores the rest in that 'patch' file. And it is line 87 that has problems.
