So if I don't specify a patch tool in [ui] it will use mpatch by 
default?  Part of the problem I have is that I can't tell which 
implementation it's using.

Interesting.  It seems to work correctly if I separate the CRLF patches 
into their own patch.  It's when I combine LF and CRLF changes together 
that the qpush operation fails.
