Git format shouldn't matter: I apply those to branches all the time with 
`patch'. The probable cause is the leading path on that patch.

The paths in the patch are all prefaced with: "a/gdb/gdbtk/generic" [or 
"b/gdb/gdbtk/generic"]. So depending on what source directory you are 
sitting in, you need to specify something other than "-p0" to `patch'.

If the CWD is (from CVS) src/gdb/, then you need -p2. If the CWD is 
src/, you need -p1. If you are sitting in src/gdb/gdbtk/generic/, yes, 
you need -p4 to ignore the first for directory components in the patch.
