Hello.
Using git i have found that git am command may sometimes fail to apply
patch file which was created by the git am command.
Steps to reproduce:
# 1. Clone test repository:
git clone https://github.com/S-trace/git_am_bug_test.git
# 2. Format patch file for last commit:
git format-patch HEAD~
# 3. Go to previous commit:
git checkout HEAD~
# 4. Apply back patch file created in step 2:
git am 0001-UPDATE-Update-ascend_MOGOLIA_ULG_normal.xml.patch
The git am command fails on my machine with the following error message:
Applying: Update ascend_MOGOLIA_ULG_normal.xml
.git/rebase-apply/patch:6522: trailing whitespace.
</scene>
error: patch failed: ascend_MOGOLIA_ULG_normal.xml:1
error: ascend_MOGOLIA_ULG_normal.xml: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 Update ascend_MOGOLIA_ULG_normal.xml
The copy of the patch that failed is found in: .git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
But patch command can handle this patch file:
patch -p1 -i 0001-UPDATE-Update-ascend_MOGOLIA_ULG_normal.xml.patch
