I don't think there is a mistake in the conversion script.  I think this
was a hypothetical, rather than an actual case where 2012 turned to 2014.

grep 2014 0001-Run-grand-replace-issue-3765.patch | grep -v - returned
nothing.

And we see the following:

address@hidden ~/lilypond-git (dev/cds)$ grep 2013

where 2013 properly changes to 2013--2014.
