el man de patch dice:

       -pnum  or  --strip=num
          Strip the smallest prefix containing num leading slashes from 
each  file  name  found  in  the  patch  file.   A
          sequence  of  one  or more adjacent slashes is counted as a 
single slash.  This controls how file names found in
          the patch file are treated, in case you keep your files in a 
different directory than the person  who  sent  out
          the patch.  For example, supposing the file name in the patch 
file was

             /u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c

          setting -p0 gives the entire file name unmodified, -p1 gives

             u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c

          without the leading slash, -p4 gives

             blurfl/blurfl.c

          and not specifying -p at all just gives you blurfl.c.  
Whatever you end up with is looked for either in the cur-
          rent directory, or the directory specified by the -d option.
