I wonder if something changed during the time I created patches for both the
trunk and branch. Usually, I would create a patch against trunk. SVN switch
to the branch 3.0 or branches/x.x and then apply the patch I created against
trunk to it. If it applies then I'm ready to go, if it does not, then I
modify the code for the branch and create a new patch for that version.

Mike Little explanation seems to leave off the part where you create a patch
for trunk. However, I'm tired, so I apologize if I'm a bit insane.
