How about:

local/lib_version-etc.c.diff
local/doc_gpl-3.0.texi.diff

or

local/lib+version-etc.c.diff
local/doc+gpl-3.0.texi.diff

?

Less chance for namespace collisions.

I think this is a good idea.  It is painful to traverse the gl/override/
hierarchy in my projects, when I only have a handful of patches anyway.
