Busybox 1.33.1 release tarball contains already-applied patch files

[Ben Fuller]

Hi there,

The latest release, downloaded from
https://www.busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.33.1.tar.bz2
contains the patches of each commit since the 1.33.0 release.

The patches have already been applied to the source, so when
I want to apply my own patches with

    for patch in *.patch; do
        patch -p1 < "$patch"
    done

these patches are also pulled in, but they've already
been applied
so the build fails.

Strangely, the release from the GitHub mirror
(https://github.com/mirror/busybox/archive/refs/tags/1_33_1.tar.gz)
doesn't contain those patch files.

Could you take these files out of the release tarball?

Thanks,

Ben
