What will it do with a file which doesn't exist in CVS?  Note that the
P4DTI patch creates at least one file:

template/en/extension/hook/bug/comments.html.tmpl/aftercomments/p4dti.html.tmpl

and the P4DTI patch application in step C expects that file to not
exist (or to be empty if it does exist).
