Hi there, this is probably offtopic but I need some help with applying
a patch for boost::gil. First of all, I don't have much experience
with patch and I need to change that. I read some tutorials online on
how to patch with subversion and it seems pretty straightforward. I
did some little testing myself and everything works as expected. Nice
tool, I like it!

Now, my first real life try with patch and I'm running into a problem
immediately. I get this error with subversion:

---------------------------
TortoiseMerge
---------------------------
The patch seems outdated! The file line
   TIFF *_tp;
and the patchline
    TIFF *_tp;
do not match!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

The patch file was send to boost mailing list and maybe some lines got
shifted by a whitespace but I cannot really tell.

I uploaded that patch file here:

http://code.google.com/p/gil-contributions/source/browse/trunk/gil_fix/tiff_io.patch

Could someone tell me what's wrong with that patch file and how to fix it?

Thanks,
Christian
