Hello! Sometimes, I use git diff -b > ~/tmp/patch git reset --hard HEAD git apply ~/tmp/patch to clean up all only-whitespace changes. But if there are files which only differ on whitespace, git-diff produces an empty patch block (what's the correct name for it?) like diff --git a/hello b/hello index f2aa86d..ce01362 100644 which git-apply refuses to apply. Is this behaviour of git-diff intentional or should I try to cook up a patch? Another combination which does not for for me is --interactive and --whitespace for rebase: > git rebase -i --whitespace=strip HEAD^ fatal: Needed a single revision Invalid base Is this an implementation bug or lack of a note of incompatibility in the docs? -- 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
