Hi Tim,

For future patches, the git format-patch command has a useful option
'--base'. It will allow you to provide the base tree information for
users and maintainers so that they know where to apply the patch:
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch#_base_tree_information

Sincerely,

William Breathitt Gray
