For chrissake, NO! I tried this already, and it immediately corrupted my data. The problem case is when the hunk you want to apply is not the first one and the first one does not add and remove the same number of lines. In this case, all that git-apply can do is to rely on line numbers. But they are WRONG and apply the patch at the WRONG spot. First, I didn't believe Linus when he preached that --unidiff-zero is bad; it took only a day to become a follower. ;) -- Hannes - 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
