Here is a concrete example (same submitter on same day):
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34249#c1
https://bug-34249-attachments.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=47606
I needed to manually commit it since I had to make changes anyways.

I recognize that this might be totally innocuous, but just wanted to raise it
as something else that can come up. I want to avoid having to use wrapper
scripts if possible, like you.

If this is the case, it seems like it might not be necessary to call
fixChangeLogPatch in svn-create-patch.
