I agree this is going in the right direction. A note that is offtopic to this particular patch but is related to Andrew's point. I had a wrong version of pre-applypatch hook in the sample shipped as "templates", and after I rebuilt my private development repository I've been running with the version without a fix I personally had. I've pushed out the fix in the master branch. I'll look at your patch to git-apply next. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
