This messes with "git am", and so I end up having to edit those posts manually. I have tried git am --scissors and it doesn't seem to solve the problem. Is there any other option which can be used to automatically process such a patch? -hpa -- H. Peter Anvin, Intel Open Source Technology Center I work for Intel. I don't speak on their behalf.
