My advice to throw on top of what's here: Some of the files that I had
completely deleted on my local branch didn't get deleted when I did the
patch. The file renames and additions seemed to work fine, but the
deletions never happened. I would recommend checking on this after merges
on topic branches. I'm not sure exactly why this happened.
