I have a patch generated with git format-patch. I am trying to apply it in a repository that contains only a subdirectory of the original repository. Therefore, I need to use git-am -p, which fails with the following message. fatal: git apply: bad git-diff - inconsistent new filename on line 33 Is there a code path missing in parse_git_header() to strip the directories as requested by -p? Please CC me. Thanks. pmf -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
