It doesn't. Don't edit the file you download from the web site. Just feed
it to "patch" as is: it will ignore anything it doesn't need.
For such a tiny patch as you are considering, doing it "by hand" (in a text
editor) is certainly also a realstic approach. But in the long run, you will
be well served by learning to use patch.
