These are because of a bug in Thomas' build-release script:
It first builds the mutt-<version>.tar.gz file, after this it commits
some changes (among others this changes some $Id$ tags in Changelog
and some .po files, if those were changed) and as a last step it
creates a diff against the CVS tree.
The problem here is, that the $Id$ tags of the Changelog and the .po
in the .tar.gz file are often (if the files changed in the above
mentioned post-release commit) one CVS version minor than the one of
the related patch, so the patch doesn't match the tar.gz file.
The best way to work around these problems is to create the diff by
temporarily decompress the two tar.gz files (previous and current
version) and create a diff using "diff -urN" instead of using "cvs
rdiff" on the one hand and "make dist" on the other (Note, that "make
dist" creates a Makefile.in which is different from the one in the CVS
tree, and which is only available in the mutt-<version>.tar.gz file!)
Tschoeeee
