+Subject: [PATCH] Fix error handling with git-style patches
+
+When an error is encountered in output_files(), the subsequent call to
+cleanup() calls back into output_files() resulting in an infinte recursion.
+This is trivially reproduced with a git-style patch (which utilizes
+output_file_later()) that tries to patch a nonexistent or unreadable
+file (see attached test case).
+
+* src/patch.c: (output_files) clear the files_to_output list before
+iterating it, so that recursive calls won't iterate the same files.
