Huh, strange! I think you have a dirty source tree: I just fetched the 
upstream repository and I have this:

     $ git annotate fsf/master -- gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/nested-subp1.exp
     fatal: no such path gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/nested-subp1.exp in 
fsf/master

So I guess you should check the state of your source tree with "git status".

I would suggest you to use "git am" to import patches: this will keep 
track of which change comes from which commit. If you want a quick 
discussion for this matter, I'm on IRC (#gdb), by the way.
