I've never seen that before, but its clearly dumping a bad diff
into git-apply.
Open up lib/diff.tcl and find "proc apply_hunk". Inside of the
catch maybe insert a puts to see the diff, e.g.:
diff --git a/git-gui/lib/diff.tcl b/git-gui/lib/diff.tcl
index 52b79e4..4acaccf 100644
--- a/git-gui/lib/diff.tcl
+++ b/git-gui/lib/diff.tcl
@@ -341,6 +341,8 @@ proc apply_hunk {x y} {
fconfigure $p -translation binary -encoding binary
puts -nonewline $p $current_diff_header
puts -nonewline $p [$ui_diff get $s_lno $e_lno]
+puts -nonewline stdout $current_diff_header
+puts -nonewline stdout [$ui_diff get $s_lno $e_lno]
close $p} err]} {
error_popup [append $failed_msg "\n\n$err"]
unlock_index
Then if you can scrub the context and +/- lines for a bad diff and
send us at least the headers, or tell us how they are malformed,
it would help to debug it.
