Hi Allan, I'm the author of the patch. Did you try checking out the exact git version that's referenced in the patch (cdec9782a1789bd5c3a84772fd59abb9da288597)? This might be a good starting point for working your way up to the very latest commit.
My repository http://github.com/jceb/dwm-patches includes the single_taglist patch on top of the latest dwm version. However, it sits on top of a long list of patches. If you don't mind that, feel free to check it out. The single_taglist patch touches every single instance that deals with tags. If you want to maintain it on top of a custom stack of patches I'd recommend to get familiar with the way dwm handles tags and how this is changed into a single taglist.
