I thought it was pretty obvious, but
DIR means a new directory was created by the patchkit
NEW mean a new file was created by the patchkit
PATCH # means that the patchkit has modified the file, and the # means
how many times it's been modified.

If you want to know what EACH patch modifies, then look at the
PATCH file in each seperate patch directory.
