Subject: format-patch on permission change gives empty patch
Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2010 17:37:14 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101006.173714.245380201.davem@davemloft.net> (raw)
When I ask git to format-patch a commit that is just a file
permission change, it ends up generating an empty file, not
even the commit message is included.
