In addition to your test case, I suspect that a patch that only changes mode would have acted funny with -p<n> option. -- >8 -- [PATCH] builtin-apply.c: pay attention to -p<n> when determining the name The patch structure has def_name component that is used to validate the sanity of a "diff --git" patch by checking pathnames that appear on the patch header lines for consistency. The git_header_name() function is used to compute this out of "diff --git a/... b/..." line, but the code always stripped one level of prefix (i.e. "a/" and "b/"), without paying attention to -p<n> option. Code in find_name() function that parses other lines in the patch header (e.g. "--- a/..." and "+++ b/..." lines) however did strip the correct number of leading paths prefixes, and the sanity check between these computed values failed. Teach git_header_name() to honor -p<n> option like find_name() function does.
