hi, i hit a bug (git 1.6.1): when you transform a binary file into a symlink in one commit, the binary patch can't be used in "git apply". Is it a known issue? reproducer: ---------- #!/bin/sh -e # the bug: if you transform a binary file into a symlink in one commit, # the binary patch can't be used in "git apply" # # nb: if you uncomment the "##" lines, the problem disappears # since the first patch will empty the binary file then the non-binary file # will be transformed into a symlink rm -rf t t2 mkdir t dd if=/dev/urandom of=t/a count=10 cp -r t t2 cd t git init git add . git commit -m initial ##echo -n > a ##git commit -a -m foo ln -sf zzz a git commit -a -m foo2 git format-patch :/initial cd ../t2 git apply ../t/*.patch cd .. rm -rf t t2 ---------- -- 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
