Speculation on gentoo-dev is that this is related to the function not working properly with merges - it is designed for linear histories. However, there were other cases of odd behavior, like patches for "README" files that contained obvious code (unless the README files really contain code). The files mentioned do exist if you search the repository - but they're a few levels down. The paths are truncated. Something odd is going on. I tried it on two versions of git: 1.8.1.5 and 1.8.3.2. Both exhibited the problem. I'm tempted to reproduce it on a live build (one of the things I like about Gentoo - many packages can be built against live development sources).
