amcl.patch file not found / buggy

[Glokta0]

The master-branch does not provide the required amcl.patch file, which is supposed to do its magic according to http://wiki.ros.org/multi_robot_collision_avoidance.

So I used instead the amcl.patch-file of the "forward-predict"-branch. Unfortunately, that results in
$ patch -p1 < amcl.patch
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

Does anyone else have more luck than me?
Thanks
