Subject: [BUG] "--show-current-patch" return a mail instead of a patch
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019 10:18:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2154192.LVDMpRDY2h@pc-42> (raw)
Hello all,
I try to use "git am" to apply a patch sent using "git send-email". This
patch does not apply properly. I try to use "git am --show-current-patch"
to understand the problem. However, since original mail is encoded in quoted-
printable, data returned by --show-current-patch is not a valid patch.
I expected that --show-current-patch would return decoded version of original
mail or something that looks like the output of "git format-patch" or at least
a valid patch. Thus, it could be processed with "git apply" or "patch".
Currently I run "git mailinfo" manually to get the patch, but it is not very
handy.
(I use git version 2.20.1 from Debian buster)
Thank you,
