Hi. It's more like a git question less like a postgres question..
I executed the following commands
rm /home/jian/Downloads/001_psql_parse_only_test.patch
git checkout master
git branch --delete --force feature_to_review
git checkout -b feature_to_review
patch -p1 --batch < /home/jian/Downloads/001_psql_parse_only.v1.patch
git commit -a -m "test"
git diff --patience master feature_to_review > /home/jian/Downloads/001_psql_parse_only_test.patch
git checkout master
git branch --delete --force feature_to_review
git checkout -b feature_to_review
patch -p1 --batch < /home/jian/Downloads/001_psql_parse_only.v1.patch
git commit -a -m "test"
git diff --patience master feature_to_review > /home/jian/Downloads/001_psql_parse_only_test.patch
git diff --color-words --no-index /home/jian/Downloads/001_psql_parse_only.v1.patch /home/jian/Downloads/001_psql_parse_only_test.patch
the last command should return nothing? The idea is to create a local branch, patch the downloaded patch file, and commit the patch file.
Then try to use git diff to validate local branch = master + patch file by comparing the download patch file with the output of (git diff branchA branchB).
Generally what's the correct commands (workflow to patch the patch file) and how can i validate the local branch only has the patched file changes and no others.

See the documentation and tutorials at http://git.or.cz/ for a more detailed Git introduction. For a more detailed lesson, check out http://progit.org and maybe get a hardcopy to help support the site.
the first link not working, the second link, is not that related to git.
