the patch says this:
index 50e171c960..4fa39cf4fd 100644

git fetch origin
git fetch jamrial
git show 50e171c960
fatal: ambiguous argument '50e171c960': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

git show 4fa39cf4fd
fatal: ambiguous argument '4fa39cf4fd': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'


so i think the blob this patch was based on is not in any repository known to my git
It might be able to apply the patch anyway but not having the full file this patch
is based on makes it harder for git. I did have other patches applied.
so git would try to merge this in and if needed produce conflict markers but
given that it doesnt seem to have the file this was based on it freaked out


thx
