You can indeed delete such things, but patch should be able to cope. As for the POTFILES.in, it's fine but does look a little perverse. My box does something similar. Generally speaking, I delete it too, or at a pinch edit it by hand. You only really need to take care is to respect line numbers: @@ -29,6 +32,8 @@ The problem that we've been experiencing with your patches to date is no doubt because these line numbers have become incorrect because writing to console can lead to line-wrap.
