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).


Pardon my ignorance, but what does "fuzz n" mean and how is it different for different values of n?

Thanks,

Jason
