Check the manpage for patch after reading this, but you are using the
wrong -p option. -p tells patch how many directories to strip from the
file headers before applying the patches. Assuming there's a CREDITS
file in your top-level source tree, you'll want to:
(a) cd to that top-level directory
(b) run patch -p1 < patchfile # so that patch removes the *first*
directory from all file headers, and patches CREDITS in the current
directory.
