[PATCH] builtin-apply: Show a more descriptive error on failure when opening a patch

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

 



When a patch can't be opened (it doesn't exist, there are permission
problems, etc.) we get the usage text, which is not a proper indication of
failure.

This patch fixes that by simply doing a perror() instead.
