I actually find encoding the target filename in the patch filename a
bit superfluous -- it's already at the top of the patch file.

I would support naming patches after their purpose/function which is
much more useful:

patches/patch-statvfs_1
patches/patch-statvfs_2 (if there are multiple files that need patching..)

imho, of course.
