These patches have been listed wrong and should be removed. We don't
maintain old patches.
What I'd do is copy the "real" 6.1-patch and call it
dwm-git-20151121-centeredmaster.diff and be done with it. If the git-head
moves along and it breaks in the future, people will know which patch
to change.

No, this just complicates shit. Just use the dates and only use versions
for patches which apply against the given tag.

The patch-situation is pretty diffuse atm. Look at the st-patches section[0],
which I've already taken care of.

Just use the bloody dates instead of shortrefs.
