That seems to have worked. Thanks!

I am up to the first 0.0 merger (in the patch named "use_binary..."). 
Just looking at the merger patch itself, it looks identical.

Looking at the glump code, I'm confused. It looks like a glump "0.0" 
just returns an empty composite patch. Looking at the 
mangle_unravelled_hunks code, it looks like it treats 0.0 and 0.9 
mergers the same.

Perhaps you're referring to the merger-building code as being very 
different, whereas I'm only looking at the merger-applying code? So far, 
it looks like I can apply hunk/hunk merger the same whether it was 
created with 0.0 or 0.9.
