Summary

0000868: patch applet likes to see \t after filenames

Description

Some of us think that timestamps generated by diff are useless and religiously
strip them to cut bandwidth down. Also git(7) generate timestampless patches
by default.

GNU patch(1) eat them flawlessly. I'm sure BSD too.

To save others from head-scratching re "what do you mean line "--- a/Makefile" is
malformed?" trivial patch attached. This time with timestamps to not screw your
not-yet-fixed busyboxes.
