Patches are described in a very similar way to configuration
fragments, which are described in the previous section.
Instead of a <filename>.cfg</filename> file, they work with
source patches.
A typical patch includes a description file and the patch itself:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
patches/mypatch.scc:
patch mypatch.patch
patches/mypatch.patch:
&lt;typical-patch&gt;
</literallayout>
For <filename>.patch</filename> files, the typical patch
is created with <filename>diff -Nurp</filename> or
<filename>git format-patch</filename>.
