Yeah at first it got me as well - but it's important to be in the right place and understand the diff (pun) between -p0 and -p1 etc. FWIW I had a dream last night in that I was watching a windows system do a patch - it would exec a few lines, stop, have the HD shudder, sit for a while, exec a few more lines, etc. :) One of my early experiences in Linux was just being awestruck when doing a patch (and that was on a reaal old system by today's standards) and having the lines just fly so fast on the screen you couldn't see what was going on. I mean, this thing has to do _some_ file manipulation, right? :)
