This looks good, and the subproject part of it should be trivial to implement but i'm struggling with applying your patch. If I copy the whole mail with headers (I get them with a menu item "show original" in gmail web client), paste it into a file ("*p in vim) I get the following: $ git apply junio.mail Adds trailing whitespace. junio.mail:103:#define LS_CHECK 32 Adds trailing whitespace. junio.mail:112: "git-ls-tree [-d] [-r] [-t] [-l] [-z] [--check] [--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--abbrev[=<n>]] <tree-i sh> [path...]"; Adds trailing whitespace. junio.mail:120: } else if (ls_options & LS_CHECK) { Adds trailing whitespace. junio.mail:121: if (S_ISGITLINK(mode)) Adds trailing whitespace. junio.mail:122: /* error: patch failed: builtin-ls-tree.c:16 error: builtin-ls-tree.c: patch does not apply git am gives me similar behaviour. $ git am junio.mail Applying submodule update - don't run git-fetch if sha1 available Adds trailing whitespace. .dotest/patch:14:#define LS_CHECK 32 Adds trailing whitespace. .dotest/patch:23: "git-ls-tree [-d] [-r] [-t] [-l] [-z] [--check] [--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--abbrev[=<n>]] <tree-ish> [path...]"; Adds trailing whitespace. .dotest/patch:31: } else if (ls_options & LS_CHECK) { Adds trailing whitespace. .dotest/patch:32: if (S_ISGITLINK(mode)) Adds trailing whitespace. .dotest/patch:33: /* error: patch failed: builtin-ls-tree.c:16 error: builtin-ls-tree.c: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001. When you have resolved this problem run "git-am --resolved". If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git-am --skip". Is the "-- >8 --" -line something git-apply looks for? Short of manual patching, abandoning the web-client or switch to another mail-account, is there any simple way to get around the above issues ?
