So, lets see if I understand this:

You have a common source "master".
You have two very large sets of changes from master, A and B.
You need to apply patches to both A and B. These patches will apply cleanly to 
both.
But these patches will not apply to the last common "master" where A and B 
diverged.'

Is that correct so far?
