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.
