Perhaps it makes sense to make it a separate mode to git am, such that it only checks that the patch is not corrupted, but does not apply it. That way it would be possible to download the patch, check that it arrived unscathed, and then do your usual patch handling. Those who do not edit patches before applying it would be convenient to set a configuration option that automatically does it when applying the patch, either warning about it or aborting (as Juliusz suggested). -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier -- 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
