patch 2.5.4 bug

[Zoltan Menyhart]

Hi,

We've got an option '-p num' for stripping 'num' leading components
from file names.
I think it is a bug that I am obliged to use '-p 0' if I have
nothing to skip.
If I am in /home/menyhart/2.4.18/linux and I want to patch a file
e.g. /home/menyhart/2.4.18/linux/arch/ia64/kernel/Makefile then
I'd think of using '-p 4' but it works only with '-p 5'.
If it is what you wanted to do, then please document it:
for the leading '/', we have to increase 'num' by 1.

Thanks,

Zoltán Menyhárt
