   it's to remove the first level of directory as in my example the paths   
   had been   
      
   --- orgcopy/orig    2024-08-02 14:22:59.937683379 +0200   
   +++ revisedcopy/orig    2024-08-02 10:17:25.108469758 +0200   
      
   so -p1 would make it same as:   
   --- orig    2024-08-02 14:22:59.937683379 +0200   
   +++ orig    2024-08-02 10:17:25.108469758 +0200   
      
   Say you had had:   
      
   --- src1/dir/orig    2024-08-02 14:22:59.937683379 +0200   
   +++ src2/dir/orig    2024-08-02 10:17:25.108469758 +0200   
      
   and you are in the src1/dir applying the patch, you would like to remove   
   two levels and use -p2, but if you had been in src1 then you would just   
   use -p1.   
      
   I hope that was understandable...
