I have uploaded a new snapshot:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/patch/patch-2.6.1.157-ed08.tar.gz

Before the next release, I want to complete the git diff format
support, and this requires fixing bug 31058. Bug 25860 may be easily
fixed based on that as well. I hope to have time for that relatively
soon.

  http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31058  "diff --git" criss-cross renames broken
  http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?25860  Patch --dry-run fails when a
patch modifies files more than once
