Sorry, I am still not sure what you mean. Could you point me at an example of 'patch metadata'? Thanks!

Here is an example of patch metadata, in this case for Debian: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/kernel/linux.git/tree/debian...

"Without patch metadata" would be a single file patch.

A CentOS 6 kernel source rpm that I unpacked recently had multiple patch files in it.
