I guess I should explain svn keywords (which I had to figure out to create this
patch).

"$Id$", for example, is a svn keyword.  A kind of variable specific to svn.

It's stored in svn ad "$Id$", but when you download it from svn with the svn
client, it expands to something like:

"$Id: sa-update.raw 1028810 2010-10-29 15:43:10Z mmartinec $"

And after I made my modifications, when svn diff created the patch for me, it
collapsed the keywords back to, for example, "$Id$".  

So you're trying to apply my patch with collapsed keywords to your copy with
expanded keywords.

So you just need to collapse my keywords by stripping out the extra stuff, so
that my patch will apply.

...And then you need them expanded for testing.  Which I don't know how to do
without committing to svn.

svn seems to be seriously lacking here.
