Thanks. Some pointers:
A fully-formatted log message helps. (See HACKING.)

Please use a path relative to the top of the trunk tree, that gives us
a standard place from which to apply all patches.

I like the spirit of this change, but felt it didn't really clarify

(The last bit is a formatting tweak that only distracted from the real
change anyway, by the way. We try not to mix formatting changes with
substantive changes.)
