If all the previous patches patch a single file, makepatch will generate the
patch for the file, because it doesn't care about the ptch context, just the
file.

If you want, you can deconstruct the new patch file and push the individual
chunks into their old files to silence portlint, but that only works if the
patches do not depend on each other.
