Since applying the patch will change the CVS header in the affected files,
this will mess up your next diff.  Details depend on how you work exactly,
but I remember having been burned by this exact issue several times.  If
your new work depends on your old patch being applied, then you'll just
have to keep an extended set of working and reference trees around.
