Yes. In fact, I did validate in a repo from my separate work tree... the trouble
was that repo had the extra patch as well. :-(

I need to practice better validate hygiene. I've been using the same validate
tree for validates for commits and validates with extra settings for sanity
checking; I guess these should be separate trees.
