I don't know what the technical term is, but these values are hashes of
the file before and after, or something like that.  They are not Git
commits or trees.

See git format-patch option --base for how to communicate the base commit.

(The above patch was possibly created from an earlier unofficial Git
repository, because I can't find those hashes.)
