First, it is whitespace-damaged, possibly due to being pasted into your email client. Using "git send-email" can help avoid this problem. Second, the code against which this patch was made does not exist in git.git. You are likely making this change atop some other local modifications which you already made. Simplest at this point would probably be for you to make a fresh clone of git.git and start from scratch by editing branch.c in the 'master' branch. > -- > 1.9.0.152.g6ab4ae2 -- 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
