Hello,

I saw your other email about the patch working - great! This email will 
just clarify a few things.

Whether a specific patch is currently mergeable or not (because it is 
conflicted) tells you nothing about the state and quality of git master, 
or even of the patch - just that the two have gone out of sync.

‘dirty’ just means you had local changes on top of that git 
revision.

As far as I can see f997fb0 should work just fine, by the way.
