No, at this point you could switch your fp_lib_table to use the KiCad
github repo for that libary or keep it pointing to your local repo as
they should be the same. If there are additional changes in the KiCad
repo then you can pull those changes. If you have additional changes
since you made the patch you can make a new patch.

I think this is a good idea. Libgit2 could help with this.
