Description
I tried opening a patch file generated by CVS via patchfs, and all I got was:
Unrecognized character in hunk
It would have been helpful to know which character was unrecognized, and the line number. With that knowledge, I would have been able to preprocess the patch file so that patchfs understands it.
I looked around to find how to copy the existing patchfs to modify it locally, but didn't find any config file or documentation. From looking at mc.ext, it seemed that there is a hard-coded list of filesystems. But that's an entirely different topic.

Patchfs didn't accept my patch files because I had the line 'diff -upNT' in my .cvsrc, which caused the first character of each hunk line to be a tab instead of a space. This would be a nice addition to patchfs as well.
