:help 'patchmode' says 'backupdir' must not be empty, and the backup
copy is "renamed" into the .orig file. However it does not say the .orig
file is created in the 'backupdir'. I guess "rename" here also implies
"move" ...

I have vim 7.3 and the backup files are indeed created in the
'backupdir', but .orig files are still in the file directory.
