I'm not aware of any simple solution to this issue. If it were me, I would've started the patch off with trunk, and then backported to the 3.1 tree. However, I would've encountered the same issue if there were code offsets. If Git could get around this issue, we should look at it more seriously. We have been discussing this on and off internally. It may be a good time to do the switch after we've released maintenance releases from 3.0 and 3.1 branches. > Fact is - occasional contributors will usually not bother creating > patches against trunk in the first place, but against code they have > at hand and which they are trying to "fix".

And don't get me wrong, I (we) totally appreciate that you took the initiative to even submit us a patch. In my point of view, since the user has already taken the initiative to submit a patch, he might be able to take a step further and give us a patch which we could commit straight into trunk. It never hurts to ask, right? ;-) We currently do not have many active developers, so anything that makes it easier for us to review/commit code helps. Hope you understand.
