Yeah, the 36020 in the file name indicates the bzr revision that
matches.  Going into the branch and using "bzr pull -r 36020" should
be sufficient.

However, do *not* sync with the latest upstream version after patching
- there WILL be conflicts.  Dealing with a merge isn't congruent with
taking it for a spin. ;)
