Hi, I want to apply patches by running git am directly on one of my Evolution mail folders. From what I've read this should be possible. The magic incantation I'm using is git am -s -i -3 ~/.evolution/mail/local/patches I seem to be running into a problem with CRLF differences. If I run the command mentioned above the patch fails to apply. If I extract the parts with git mailinfo and use git apply the patch fails. If I use Evolution to save the file and run git am on the saved file no problems (I'm pretty sure Evolution is correcting the CRLF for me). Same deal if I run git mailinfo and dos2unix on the extracted patch. So Is there something I'm missing here, do I need to tell git am or git apply about the line encoding? Do I need to tell Evolution something? Is it safe to run dos2unix on an Evolution mbox? Caveat: I'm running an old version of git (1.5.4.5). I've been putting off upgrading as the corporate overlords are planning a wider distro version upgrade which would include a newer version of git.
