Hi Yuichi,
unfortunately your patch doesn't apply cleanly due to whitespace issues.
Can you please create a patch with `git format-patch' and send it via
`git send-email' to this list? Alternatively, append the patch created
with git format-patch as attachment to your mail. This should avoid
whitespace issue entirely.
Thanks,
Corinna
