Hello,

sorry, please ignore - once more - my git-ignorance. (I'm used to CVS
and SVN).
I tried to apply these changes to my 4.4 copy.
Here is what I did:

Searched for the hashes: (First March 6)

Get the diff:

17e43680e78eb090947c6cfc9bf310486dffa12c

That should be the right "direction" for the diff - isn't it ?

I tried to extract this as patch and apply it to my 4.4 copy:

git diff 24be3677d183dd3d21dd120361097cc6b8815f8a
17e43680e78eb090947c6cfc9bf310486dffa12c > ../kpa4.4/inherit.patch


cd ../kpa4.4
> patch -p1 < inherit.patch

But patch complains about a reverted patch and looking at the (4.4)
source also shows the changes present:

Huh ? The change is after the release date. I tried to get more context
from 'git diff' using 'git diff -C 10 ...' - but git complained.

Second try - older patch:

Similar behaviour.
I even tried to accept the reversed patch as reversed - but that gave a
bunch of failed hunks. Before trying to solve these, I would like to
rule out a bad bug on my part...

Could you advise please ?

Thanks

Martin
