Hi,

I keep an eye on my patches using cfbog [1] and I think since recently
it started to mistakenly mark patches as "needs rebase" while in fact
everything is OK. If we take [2] for instance, it applies fine:

```
$ git am ~/Desktop/v4-0001-pgindent-improve-formatting-of-multiline-comments.patch
Applying: pgindent: improve formatting of multiline comments
```

There is a log of `git am` on cfbot [3] but I don't see any errors there:

```

```

I've seen the same problem with another patch of mine [4]. It also
applied fine but I submitted a rebased version nevertheless. Strangely
enough it made cfbot happy, so I doubt it has anything to do with a
WARNING from FreeBSD Jails.
