patch: better handling of sequence of offset patch hunks (issue1941)
The built-in patch implementation applied the hunks to the wrong lines of the
file if the file in the repo has been modified to skew the patch line numbers
and the file contains repetitive sequences of lines.

# These initial lines of Xs were not in the original file used to generate
# the patch. So all the patch hunks need to be applied to a constant offset
# within this file. If the offset isn't tracked then the hunks can be
# applied to the wrong lines of this file.
