Yes, that was obvious to me, but I could have spelled it out more  
clearly in my response. That's why I suggested merging the  
problematic patch manually, thus adding a commit message. I'm a bit  
confounded that this didn't work for you, but that push did, but on  
the other hand I'm happy that you now have a work-around for your  
problem.
