#2949: Questionable patch organization in RTEMS tools and RSB

 Patches for RTEMS tools are available via the RTEMS tools repository:

 https://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools/tree/tools

 They are organized using subdirectories.

 The RSB uses these patches.  It removes the subdirectories and collects
 everything in a "patches" directory, e.g.

 download: https://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools/plain/tools/4.11/newlib/arm
 /newlib-ARM-Optimize-IEEE-754-sqrt-implementation.diff -> patches/newlib-
 ARM-Optimize-IEEE-754-sqrt-implementation.diff

 This works only in case the patch file names are unique. So, the use of
 subdirectories in the RTEMS tools is questionable.
