My point is that once file is in CVS, we should try to use it even if
the name is not perfectly in line with standard scheme.  The rationale
behind this rule is roughly the same as why we are not renaming existing
`patch-xy' patches or patches containing ::, for example.

If existing patch name looks good enough (and it obviously does, since
the file name is essentially the same), I think you should have not
created new file (regardless of the contents).
