How to patch u-boot?

Hi

Could someone help me out with patching the u-boot.
I downloaded the source code of u-boot-1.1.6 and untared it. Then I do a $cd u-boot-1.1.6
$svn co http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/u-boot/patches/
$patch <patches/boot-menu.patch
patching file bootmenu.c
can't find file to patch@input line 154
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

|Index: u-boot/board/neo1973/gta01/gta01.c
|===================================================================
|--- u-boot.orig/board/neo1973/gta01/gta01.c
|+++ u-boot/board/neo1973/gta01/gta01.c

--------------------------
File to patch:

This is what comes....
Is this the way to do it? If not please help me with the steps to be followed.

Thankyou

those patches are against current git head of u-boot. What gave you the assumption that the patches are agains 1.1.6?
