Thanks. However...
I am able to apply this using 'patch', but not with 'git am' since the 
headers are missing. FWIW, the usual workflow is to make the changes and 
commit it into your repository using 'git commit' and then use 'git 
format-patch' to generate a patch file that you can then post.

I'll defer to Michael on whether he is ok to process this as it is.
