Hi,
I just did a rebase, and it throws an error like this:
Applying: comment1
Applying: comment2
Applying: comment3
Applying: comment4
Applying: patch_with_binary_files
fatal: git diff header lacks filename information when removing 1
leading pathname component (line 7330213)
Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge.
Cannot fall back to three-way merge.
Patch failed at 0005 patch_with_binary_files
The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
/usr/local/git_tree/affiliate_data/.git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git rebase --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git rebase --skip" instead.
To check out the original branch and stop rebasing, run "git rebase --abort".
The patch is very large, 882453899 bytes.
The patch also includes many binary files.
Extracting the content around and before line 7330213 and up to the
next diff header in the patch I see this:
perl -lne'print "$.\t$_" if 7330169 .. 7330213' .git/rebase-apply/patch

I have munged the filenames.
It looks to me like git can't apply patches over a certain size.
Any suggestions on how to proceed here?
cheers,
Yves
