I checked that issue, and it turns out that the problem is likely to be 
on the server side, namely cvs.freetype.org. For an unknown reason, it 
builds diffs without full paths :

Index: builds/unix/.cvsignore
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvs/freetype/freetype2/builds/unix/.cvsignore,v
retrieving revision 1.2
diff -c -r1.2 .cvsignore
*** .cvsignore  2000/11/11 05:55:41     1.2
--- .cvsignore  2002/11/27 15:49:43

Reading 'man patch', we learn that the 'old and new names' will be used 
by patch, and they are the last two lines of this excerpt. All other 
servers (including FreeType's until my last attempt to produce a patch) 
I used/tried do include full paths, so it should read :

*** builds/unix/.cvsignore  2000/11/11 05:55:41     1.2
--- builds/unix/.cvsignore  2002/11/27 15:49:43

I could not manage to produce this proper diff format with FreeType's 
current repository. Hope it helps,

Vincent.
