Unfortunately, as I understand it, this is not the case. If you

to dual license patches.)
I hope the COPYING or similar file will contain the licence text
under which the code is distributed?
Not until someone updates the txt. Which should happen quickly,
but if someone applies a GPLv3 patch to a previously GPLv2 branch,
the entire branch becomes GPLv3, whether the COPYING file was
updated or not.
