Fail in what way? From my cursory reading of the code, it looks like the
'patch' action calls into git_commitdiff, which handles the multi-parent
case.

I assume I'm reading wrong, since you obviously know gitweb much better
than I do. :) But can you expand a little on the nature of the problem
in the commit message?
