Thank you, Robert, for tracking this down.

How familiar are you with git?  I assumed you did a `git clone` to grab the
source.  After making your change you can do a `git diff` to see the
changes.  Further you can do a `git diff > ticket12959.patch` (or something
like that) to save the diff to a file, which you can then attach to the
ticket.  If you attach the patch to the ticket, I will take a look at it.
