I did this (it rewrites all line counts to 1): $ git diff ..HEAD~1 | sed -e '/^@@/s/,[0-9]+ /,1 /g' | ./git-apply --fixup-line-counts and there was no output. Instead, the patch was applied. > And the line > counts are not ignored, but they are actively rewritten. Of course, internally there is some sort of "output" from the fixup routine, and the line counts are rewritten and then are not ignored. But the user doesn't care about this internal procedure. From the user's perspective, the line counts of the input patch are ignored. Apart from this color of the bikeshed I like your patch. -- 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
