Hi all, [ Please Cc me on any replies as I am not subscribed to this list, thanks. ] I am wondering if I can get git diff to create "CVS-style patches"? What do I mean by that? Well, whenever I do: git diff I get patch headers in the form: diff --git a/foo.c b/foo.c index 57b9527..a2d947b 100644 --- a/foo.c +++ b/foo.c This is fine for git, but if I then want to import the same patch into CVS I have to either edit the patch, or mess around with the -p option to patch(1). I have seen that git-diff has options to change the a/ b/ headers -- can anyone shed some light on this as to what I can do? The reason I am wanting to do this, is rather than importing changesets from git -> CVS, I have a git clone outright of a CVS project (which I update with git-cvsimport) and often want to import diffs to CVS directly after I'm done, and then I publish my topic branches in Git when I'm done. The key thing though is to be able to apply patches from git -- and I am hoping the easiest thing to do is to try and get git-diff to change the headers. Any help greatly received.
