Failed binary detection.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A coworker has a branch with some large binary files (video test streams).
Git doesn't seem to be detecting this file is binary, and is causing things
that try to generate diffs to fail.

Specifically, he is unable to rebase his branch, getting an error:

.dotest/patch:3241:LD   := ld
fatal: corrupt patch at line 84682
Patch failed at 0001.

Line 84682 is in the middle of what appear to be the binary contents of the
large media file, with pluses inserted after newline.

Any advice on where to look or possibly how to fix this?

I was able to work around the problem by cherry picking the change instead
of using rebase.  git-format-patch generates a patch that is corrupt in the
same way, which fails with 'git-am'.

Thanks,
Dave
