** Summary changed:

- some patches are not split
+ some patches are not split neither by splitpatch nor splitdiff

** Description changed:

- splitpatch does not split patches at times, for example, when the change
- is only to file permissions.  At least, that's my interpretation.
- Example patch that won't be split is in the attachment. Interestingly,
- lsdiff also lists only one file being touched by the patch.
