Sometimes, it can happen that a patch only applies with "fuzz", for example:

$ hg import
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/raw-attachment/ticket/11298/trac11298_singular_standard_options.rebase4.7.1.a1.patch
patching file doc/en/reference/misc.rst
Hunk #1 succeeded at 10 with fuzz 2 (offset 0 lines).

My personal opinion on applying patches with fuzz is that I allow
patches with fuzz 1 but not with fuzz 2.  I have seen at least two cases
where a "fuzz 2" patch was actually wrongly merged (I don't remember
which tickets).
