Yeah, that's a git peculiarity to distinguish between the old and the 
new versions.  To deal with this, tell `patch' to ignore the first path 
components by passing it "-p1".  But even then the above patch will not 
apply to a released version of Glib as it depends on the previous 
commit.  I think it would be easiest if you worked with a full checkout:

  git clone git://git.gnome.org/perl-Glib
