Hi, I noticed something very odd with git am, and have been able to narrow it down to a minimal example. git init tmp cd tmp mkdir -p foo/bar/baz cd foo/bar/baz echo file > file git add file git commit -m "1" echo other > other echo more >> file git add file other git commit -m "my test" git format-patch HEAD~.. git reset --hard HEAD~ # apply the patch in the current directory, chop off the leading directories git am -3 -p 3 0001-my-test.patch cd ../../.. git ls-files Expected output: foo/bar/baz/file foo/bar/baz/other Actual output: baz/other # the file addition was applied to the root of the repository, instead of the current directory foo/bar/baz/file # the file modification was correctly applied, yay Is this expected behavior? -- 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
