So I have been trying for a while to apply this, but have not succeeded.
It has a number of weird white-space errors.  For example...

There is a spurious space after "detail." that makes things fail.
Fixing that was not sufficient, though, there are others, and I don't
have the time to figure it all out.

Please go through the exercise of emailing the patch to yourself, and
get to the point where "git am" will accept it; then resend.

Thanks,

jon
