Hi Hillf,
I'm not sure how you're generating your patches, but it seems that
many of them (not sure if it's all) do not have a trailing whitespace
line. So, when I try to apply the patch either using 'patch' or 'git-am'
it sees the first line of the mailing list footer as part of the patch.
So the, "____________________" line is considered part of the patch and
it causes the application of the patch to fail. Here's what happens when
I try to apply the mbox for this patch.
rwlove@fritz:/var/testspace/open-fcoe-initiator$ git-am
~/Desktop/1-2-libfc-fix-mem-leak-in-fc_tm_done.patch
Applying: libfc: fix mem leak in fc_tm_done()
fatal: corrupt patch at line 16
Patch failed at 0001 libfc: fix mem leak in fc_tm_done()
When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".
rwlove@fritz:/var/testspace/open-fcoe-initiator$ patch -p1 --dry-run
< .git/rebase-apply/0001
patching file drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_fcp.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 28:
_______________________________________________
I'm not a patch formatting expert, but I think the lack of a
whitespace line at the end of the changes is the problem.
I'd suggest mailing the patch to yourself first and then try applying
the mbox with 'git-am', if that works then everything should be fine.
Also, I like to use stgit to generate and mail patches. Everyone has
their own development process, but I want to point that tool out to you
because it will take care of all of the formatting for you.
Thanks, //Rob
