Huh? A .rej file contains failed hunks, i.e. hunks that 'patch'
failed to apply to a file. Is there some other kind of .rej file?

As Karl said, the .rej file only contains *failed* hunks... in other
words, only the hunks that were in conflict. If other hunks worked,
then they were applied to the working file. That's the behavior we
want -- the .rej file only shows you the specific parts that
conflicted. I don't think we want the patch to be applied
all-or-nothing.
